Company Seeks Amputee Actors
A company specialising in providing ‘simulation services’ to support medical and military training is looking for amputee actors.
Trauma FX Ltd employs amputee actors – male and female, aged at least 18 years old – and special effects make-up artists who are contacted to work throughout the UK providing Casualty Simulation (CASSIM).
No previous acting experience is necessary, as training will be given – although military and/or medical experience would be of an advantage. Applicants should be fit, have their own transport and able to commit to what can be a physically and emotionally challenging but exciting and rewarding job.

Amputee Raises Funds with Skydive
Five years after a horrific motorcycle accident led to the removal of his left leg at the hip, Ruben Carril plans to jump out of “a perfectly good airplane” to raise awareness and “help inspire other amputees that, after losing a limb, it doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world”.
Weather permitting, Ruben will make the jump – after many hours practising at his local indoor skydiving studio – on 15 August. He has already raised more than £750 for his chosen charity, the Limbless Association.
