* Comfortable in a clinical setting and with face-to-face patient interaction
* Quick to learn and open to structured training
* Professional in presentation and communication
* Able to balance warmth with efficiency in a fast-paced environment
This role suits someone who is serious about their contribution, values being part of a healthcare team, and is looking for more than just a retail position.
