Right-Hand Man Needed for Outings & Activities
A sociable man in his 50s with a disability is looking for a reliable companion to join him on his daily outings. He enjoys a good chat, staying active, and being part of his local community in Glendene. His week is filled with art classes, walking groups, and coffee catch-ups—he's always up for a friendly conversation, especially if there’s a dog nearby!
We’re looking for someone who can be a steady presence, helping him stay on track with his activities while also enjoying them alongside him. If you’re patient, easy-going, and know how to strike the right balance between chatting and giving someone their space, this could be a great fit. No experience in disability support is needed—just a positive attitude and a willingness to be there. Bonus points if you enjoy cricket, dogs, and good conversation!
The Role:
📅 Monday, Wednesday & Friday, 12 – 5pm
🚶 No driver’s license required, but you should be comfortable keeping up with a casual walking group.
