Home visits and community-based presentations (30% of the time) will require the incumbent to carry 5-15 lbs. of presentation supplies and aids to the location of the presentations in all climactic conditions (private homes, schools, health centre). The incumbent may be expected to walk to the sites on a daily basis with exposure to various weather conditions when moving between the office and locations for public presentations and home visits.
