Eighteen-year-old Lacy Horan has spent her entire life in Ayr, growing up surrounded by the close-knit community of the Burdekin.
Lacy was drawn to Flexi Queensland by the opportunity to work flexibly while making a tangible difference in the lives of community members. As a lifestyle facilitator, her role covers a wide range of responsibilities, from assisting with personal care and supporting service users in the community to fostering independence in everyday tasks, and more.
“I love building genuine connections with our clients and being part of a team that encourages growth both professionally and personally,” Lacy says, also appreciative of the social aspects of the role like trips to Townsville to weekly bowling events.
Lacey takes special pride in being part of the dedicated Flexi team that was awarded the prestigious 'Most Exceptional Disability Support Service Team in Australia’ award, highlighting the milestone as one of her favourite moments in her role to date.
Outside of work, Lacy enjoys spending time with family and friends by the creek, shopping, or relaxing at home. A love of sports nurtured in her early years allowed her to build strong local connections, relationships she continues to treasure today.
Fun fact: She learned to ride a bike without training wheels when she was just 18 months old—a hint at her determination and adventurous spirit that she brings to her role every day.
