• Attention to Detail - You follow instructions closely and handle equipment with care to ensure everything is ready for screenings.
• Confidentiality - You must maintain strict confidentiality regarding screenings and client information.
• Teamwork - You work well with others, supporting the Specialist and Director, and contributing to a collaborative environment.
