Zoe,27, is a vibrant, fun-loving, young woman. Zoe and her mum and dad live on a working farm, close to Colchester. Zoe thrives on engaging in a wide range of activities that include hydrotherapy, arts and crafts, drama, farm work, and horse riding. Zoe sustained an Acquired Brain Injury; as a result, she has Cerebral Palsy, which affects all four of her limbs.

Someone who has effective communication and teamwork skills, is patient, dependable and truly dedicated to advocating for Zoe s continued access to the experiences that bring her happiness and self-growth.

Why You ll Love This Role: The opportunity to be part of a supportive dedicated team. Training and ongoing guidance will be provided and of course being genuinely committed and motivated to champion Zoe in living her fullest and most joyful life.
