- Support with reading, games, hobbies & interests
- Simple gardening or very basic DIY
- Help with pet care & dog walking
- Basic help with iPads & computers
- Respite/sitting for family carers

You will need a full driving license & your own clean, reliable car. Also, you must own a reliable smart phone.
