If you can spare a few hours in the morning and afternoon, you’ll give them the chance to make the most of their day. Morning routes begin around 07:30 ending around 09:00. Afternoon routes commence approx. 15:15 – 15:45 ending at around 16:30. This role would fit well around existing employment and any commitments you may already have. No formal qualifications are needed as training will be provided. All you need is a natural rapport with children and young people. This would be relief work initially with the potential of becoming permanent in time.
