The documentation assistant

The documentation assistants recruit the WMR rehabilitants in the rehabilitation centers, document, provide information, organize and also act as a link to us project staff. In addition to this diverse range of tasks, all documentation assistants regularly reflect and optimize their processes. The current situation makes many things more difficult, but only motivates the women in these positions even more.
