Job Description

Our screeners are the heart of NEC Care, spending time on the ground helping our patients.

You should be empathetic and able to communicate effectively with patients daily.

• Customer-focused with excellent interpersonal skills
• Willingness to learn, as we will provide necessary qualifications
• Organized and able to prioritize tasks
• Good problem-solving skills
• Able to work under pressure
• Previous experience working with the public is ideal
• Full driving license and own transport
