This role is for a *Female Support Worker to work with a delightful Teenager in her own home in Doddington Village (between Faversham and Sittingbourne).

Amy is a 17-year-old girl who lives with her parents and younger sibling. Amy has cerebral palsy meaning she has difficulty with movement, speech and feeding.
