The role helps to ensure that search friends travel safely, feel supported, and enjoy their time out in the community.
This role will involve assisting the driver to pick up search friends from their homes, and helping them onto the bus safely.
Provide a search warm welcome and friendly chat during the journey.
This role will involve supporting search friends during the lunch club, helping make cuppas, serving meals, and social interaction.
After the lunch club you will support on the return journey home.
