Can you spare a few hours once a month to help our veterans enjoy a trip out to their local lunch club?
This role involves helping our veterans access and exit the restaurant, assist with ordering meals and paying bills, and chatting to our veterans.
You will be helping to make sure everything runs smoothly ensuring that all our veterans can get the assistance they need. Sometimes this will mean providing descriptions of things such as the menu, or guiding a veteran to help them orientate themselves.

Friendly & welcoming
Great communicator
Patient & attentive
