Support Practitioner – 7 hours – Ref: DON/JAG

My name is Dominic, I’m a young guy looking for a charismatic person to join my team.

Here’s some facts about me….

I have cerebral palsy and use my wheelchair; therefore, I rely on my team to help with eating, getting out and about in my van and enjoy life. I have a unique way of communicating and once we get to know each other we’ll be in sync.

I am a HUGE fan of Billy Joel, Elton John and the Beatles, I might be young but my taste in music is pure class. I have a collection of books that I enjoy being read to me, I do like to put my team through their paces and test their reading and voice over skills, just so I can have a giggle. I love having a joke and watching clips of Scottish comedy like Burnistoun and Kevin Bridges. So, if you like getting full of the banter and you have the patter, then you’d be suited for my team.
