Join Us to Support Joanne in Her Exciting Next Chapter

Are you a patient, compassionate, and proactive individual who wants to make a real difference in someone’s life?

We are looking for Personal Development Workers to join a brand new, supportive team centred around Joanne, a vibrant woman moving into her own home in Blairgowrie, Perthshire after time in hospital.

This is more than a job, it’s a chance to help Joanne thrive, gain independence, and live her best life at home and in her community.

If you enjoy building positive relationships, love fashion, hair, and make up, and want to share these interests to connect and empower, we would love to hear from you.

Why Join Our Team?

• Be part of an inspiring journey, supporting Joanne as she transitions into independent living.
• Work in a supportive environment where your input is valued.
• Full training provided, with opportunities for personal and professional development.
• Competitive pay rates: £15.86 per hour (with sleepovers paid at £12.60 per hour).

The Role

As a Personal Development Worker, you will:

• Provide personalised, one to one support tailored to Joanne’s interests, routines, and wellbeing.
• Help Joanne with daily life, from getting ready in the morning to exploring meaningful activities.
• Encourage independence, build confidence, and promote her rights and choices.
• Work as part of a small, dedicated team providing 24/7 support on a rota basis (part-time and full-time roles available).
• Take part in monthly reflective meetings with the Support Advisor, sharing ideas and solutions to continually enhance support.

What We’re Looking For

• Compassionate, patient, and reliable people with a genuine commitment to person-centred care.
• Interest in fashion, hair, or make up, and a willingness to share these with Joanne.
• Experience in autism support, learning disabilities, or health and social care is helpful but not essential.
• Willingness to learn, adapt, and bring positive energy to the role.
• Strong communication skills and ability to follow support plans.

Training will be provided, so if you have the right values and attitude, we’ll give you the tools to succeed.
