You will help people feel welcome, connect with others and get involved in Discovery College activities. You may also: •Welcome and support people using the Discovery College Lounge. •Encourage positive wellbeing conversations and connection with others. •Promote Discovery College courses, activities and events. •Signpost people to further support where appropriate. •Help with refreshments, learning materials and keeping the lounge welcoming.
