Job description

If making a positive impact in the lives of others is always on your to-do list you'll LOVE working with a team that puts people first.

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 dedicated teacher - you have a knack for sensing the emotions of others and enjoy helping others explore and learn;
A proud advocate - you have an innate desire to stand up for people who need a voice
A born go-getter - you are always looking for ways to add value, improve processes, build others up, and make the world a better place.
