Skills Description

The individual needs to be friendly and polite. They will also understand that our service users use the drop in centre as a means to find company and have someone to talk to, so a friendly face and someone willing to listen and make small talk would be beneficial but not essential as they mostly talk amongst themselves.

What is in it for you

The opportunity would be beneficial to someone who has too much time on their hands and is looking for something to do fill the time, perhaps someone who wants an opportunity to get out and meet people themselves.
