- Transport to and from appointments/shops.
- Work with each client to continue to do the things they love.

You will need to be comfortable working on your own in the community, have excellent verbal communication skills and have an empathetic, patient and caring nature. This role does require you to have an Australian driver’s license, and own a reliable motor vehicle with a minimum Third Party Property Damage car insurance as you need to travel to our clients’ homes.
