• A Full Driver's Licence

• Experience supporting people with disabilities and/or challenging behaviours

• Strong communication and commitment to building long lasting, reliable relationships with the people you support and their families

• Sufficient fitness for an active role that may involve sports and recreational activities

• The ability to use technology effectively to communicate with the team, and to help the people we support connect with their communities and interests in cars, motorsport, woodwork, heavy metal music and practical hands-on activities would be an added advantage.
