Therapy Assistant – Penllergaer

About the company

I’m a 16-year-old young lady with subtle needs arising from a birth injury. I’m bright and funny with a strong sense of justice. I struggle to conform to the needs of the school environment, and I currently attend school for part of the school day. I need access to support throughout the day, so that I can attain the academic success which I am very capable off and participate in my interests out of school.

I am still learning about the impact of my injury and need someone compassionate and understanding who can support me on this journey. I also receive support from my mum, my case manager and a therapy team.
