**Experience - about you**

You'll have relevant experience supporting the well-being and inclusion of people with disability.

Effective written and verbal communication skills, particularly active listening.

Ability to perform all physical aspects of the role, including manual handling, lifting, bending, stretching, and physical transfer.

**Qualifications required**
