Jemma joined Down’s Syndrome Scotland in late 2024 as a finance administrator after previously working as a support worker for adults with learning disabilities. This was as well as doing voluntary administration and treasurer work for various small Scottish charities.

She also works part time as a youth worker based in Glasgow and is passionate about seeing people reach their full potential. For Jemma, DSS clearly share this passion, and this is one reason that led her to apply for a position with the charity.

According to Jemma, when she is not buried in spreadsheets or on youth camps, she enjoys watching and singing along to musicals, going on road trips in the highlands, and smashing it out on the squash courts.
