  • Support participant wellbeing through gentle guidance and positive reinforcement. 

  • Ensure safeguarding and access needs are met at all times. 

  • Provide session feedback and communicate participant needs to the Tramshed team. 

Person Specification 

  • Experience facilitating inclusive arts or wellbeing-based sessions for adults with learning disabilities. 

  • Warm, approachable and supportive with a strong sense of group care. 

  • Ability to adapt quickly and tailor sessions on-the-spot.
