  • Have a genuine desire to make a difference and help others
  • Support workers are required to undertake 5 hours of Sighted Guide relevant CPD annually

Training and ongoing support is provided. Cosmic People are a CPD accredited company, and you will have the opportunity to achieve CPD accreditation in a variety of training areas relevant to your role, resulting in a certificate.
