Excellent interpersonal, organisational, written and oral communication skills are essential for this role, as is the ability to multi-task and demonstrate a ‘can do’ attitude. The post-holder will be required to maintain confidentiality and demonstrate a calm, customer-focused, professional approach to all aspects of this busy and demanding role. The post-holder will be highly organised with excellent interpersonal skills. Applicants should be educated to degree level or equivalent, have substantial relevant experience, and excellent IT skills, administrative and organisational abilities.
