  • Assist with loading and unloading patients and equipment when required.

  • Strong verbal and written communication skills
  • Strong internal and external customer service skills
  • Ability to successfully interview with customer and management teams
  • Ability to pass a pre-placement physical exam, drug screening, and background check
Physical Requirements

This role requires the ability to assist with loading and unloading patients and equipment. Candidates must be able to pass a functional capacity exam, including a strength and flexibility assessment, with the ability to lift up to 100 lbs.
