Diverse backgrounds and skills are key to ensuring our Members have exposure to a wide range of experiences, so be sure to let us know of any of your weird, wacky, and wonderful areas of interest.

- A compassionate personality: You must be a patient, kind, and caring person as we will not accept anything less
n
- Be and have fun: We want all of our staff and Members to love coming to BEST, so being someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously is essential (singing and dancing badly is encouraged)
