What we’re looking for:
You will need to be:

- Set up to work remotely, and confident in the use of MS Office programmes
- A problem-solver; cheerful, helpful and professional via phone and email as a first-contact voice of VMG
- Meticulously organised to cope with several communication streams, detailed data, and fixed deadlines; and to make sure we can all get what we need to do done, with everyone in the right place at the right time with the right information
- Able to follow-up on actions, gain commitment from busy people, and take responsibility for ensuring tasks are completed both on time and to a high standard
- Enthusiastic about your own professional development and supporting that of others

What else do you need to know?
- Hours are three days/21 hours per week. We are a remote-first organisation and flexible working is actively encouraged.

- Pay will start at £12/hour with good progression potential for those who can make additional contributions to VMG’s success.
- We also offer 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (pro-rata)
