We are looking for someone to help on alternate Saturday’s or Sundays during the term time and 3-4 times during the week on half terms and school holidays.

· Fit and healthy

· Someone kind and genuine who in time will feel like part of the family

· Must have patience, be trustworthy and be reliable

· Full, valid driving license

· Live in the Bournemouth area
