Hi I was just wondering if you have any paid or unpaid vacancies for helping out with the wonderful work you do, at the moment? I am an Applied Psychology student in UCC, entering my final year in September.
I will be in Galway for the summer and I would love to be involved in the wonderful work you do.
I have experience working with an autistic child for 6 months and I can send on a cv if you wish. I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards,
Mary Egan.
