Post holders will receive comprehensive training and deliver set agendas, making sure the day runs to schedule and activities are inclusive and delivered with enthusiasm.  The Ad-Hoc Ambassador Club Assistant will also manage volunteers and care staff, ensuring that young people are kept safe at all times and that days remain fun and vibrant, encouraging participants to lead on activities.  The Ad-Hoc Ambassador Club Assistant is also responsible for the feedback and evaluation process at each club.
