The Assistant will join and support the facilitation of the group alongside the Facilitator, ensuring a warm welcome to those that wish to join us. We want to create a safe environment for people to be able to talk about their caring roles when they feel comfortable to do so.

The Assistant will achieve this by actively listening and responding to issues and concerns raised by the carer if able to do so.

They will feedback to the Facilitator after the group, including any concerns for the carer or further action required.
