Opportunities are also available to provide transport weekly to a young carer from their home to a varied selection of local activities.

SKILLS REQUIRED:

• Ability to communicate with and listen effectively to children and young people

• Enthusiastic, outgoing, fit, and energetic

• Able to interact with the group, happy to participate in all activities

• Friendly, caring, compassionate, sensitive with a non-judgmental approach

• Able to act as a role model to young people, with professional boundaries
