We are looking for Therapeutic Support Workers to support a young lady based in Dobwalls, near Liskeard.
Would you like to join an exciting journey of support with a unique individual??? Do you like being out and about?? Do you love animals? Then this may be for you!
We require Therapeutic Support Workers for a young lady with a great sense of humour, who loves animals, enjoys theme parks, zoos and aquariums, swimming, and spending time outdoors. She loves Disney and has a talent for recreating Disney scenes or from old videos such as Sooty and Sweep, The Tweenies and many more. She loves the company of those who are important to her, and she can trust – loves the family animals and seeing family members.
If you’re embarrassed about playing Lego on the floor, singing and talking about Disney and don’t want to swim or help with her animals – then this is not the place for you!
You must have a desire and will, to explore the world through Disney, have a zest for life, and enjoy adrenaline fuelled activities, such as roller coasters and walks in the rain!
