• Any other duties not mentioned but that fall within the scope of this role should be discussed and then mutually agreed.
• Willing to undertake any further training if required.

Requirements / Qualifications

• Full driving licence and access to a car with suitable business insurance cover.
• Experience supporting a child with a learning disability and who is non-verbal.
