  • Empathetic and understanding nature, with a desire to help people.
  • The ability to work well both on your own, and with others.
  • Patience and the ability to remain calm in stressful situations.
  • Full driving license and access to your own vehicle - although walking/cycling routes are available in some areas, please enquire.
