Tue, 9 Apr 2013A charity is opening up applications for positions it shouldn’t be too hard to attract people to – namely taking on the role of ‘Dream Maker’, with ‘duties’ including rollercoaster riding, unlimited ice cream eating and whale watching.

While it all sounds like a lot of fun, there is a serious goal behind it – to look after and entertain children battling life-threatening conditions on an annual trip to the US organised by charity Caudwell Children.

And Caudwell chief executive officer Trudi Beswick says the 40 successful candidates will get more than just a sugar rush out of the experience, commenting: “Those who have experienced the magic of Destination Dreams often refer to this life-changing experience as empowering, uplifting, humbling and incredibly rewarding."

“Everyone gets so much out being part of the trip, not only during the week but in their day-to-day lives when they return.”

The trip takes place in December and visits a number of theme parks in Florida. According to the company no previous experience is necessary as the charity hosts a social weekend to train those taking part, but knowledge of anything Disney is desirable.

The company is directing would be Dream Makers to its website.
