It is desirable that you have experience supporting people in guiding conversations and a recovery-focused approach.

It is also a requirement that you have good physical ability as the role involves traveling over a geographical area and may require working at different locations during a workday. It is a merit if you have knowledge of sign support and/or sign language, as one of the activities serves, among others, the deaf community.
