We are looking for anyone who can spare a few hours a week and can say 'Yes' to the following: - Good at map reading and able to use a Sat Nav system - Able to perform physical tasks including lifting and loading - Positive, friendly and personable, able to interact well with different people - Adaptable – managing surplus can be unpredictable so day to day tasks can vary
