You will be a friendly outgoing individual with a natural empathy for children and young people. No prior knowledge of heart disease is required as full training will be given, but you will have an interest in health and some knowledge of the school system. You will have strong communication skills, and an ability to communicate well over the phone and face to face. You will enjoy speaking to others and be able to give clear and imaginative presentations to younger audiences. Having a strong commitment to the aims and work of BHF Scotland is important; as is that you are a non smoker.
