Patient Educator & Custodian

Teaching, therapy, and the care of collections and knowledge
Patient Educator & Custodian

Sitting within the 'Learning, Ideas, & Culture' family, the 'Patient Educator & Custodian' occupational archetype brings patience and a sense of duty to the table, and covers occupations that help others to learn, to recover, or to understand. Driven by their sense of duty (Dutifulness), doing the right thing, and rule-keeping, and guided by their patient calmness and even temper (Frustration), this incredible group of occupations are filled with people who are warm and cooperative as opposed to competitive, and who prefer to support people from beside them as opposed to leading from the front. 

True champions of responsibility, the people in these roles take stewardship seriously, whether of a classrom, a client's progress, or a collection in their care. They thrive where steady care consistently over time matters more than quick wins.
