Improve their communication and social skills via talking to patients and staff. An understanding of a professional workplace and the behaviour and commitment that is expected from employees.
What We're Looking For: 
An artisic and enthusiastic person  No specific IT skills are required above and beyond that of standard use of Microsoft Office applications such as word, excel, powerpoint etc.
