You will love this job if you are :

  • A natural helper - you possess the natural instinct to help people feel more relaxed, safe and confident;
  • A top-notch listener - you hear the one-of-a-kind stories in every person you meet and naturally embrace each person's uniqueness;

  • A proud advocate - you have an innate desire to stand up for people who need a voice
