You will bring to the team a high level of flexibility and customer service skills, and excellent ICT skills with ability to communicate verbally and in writing with a range of people. It is just as important to us that you are an empathetic and genuine person who can work proactively as part of a team, and that you are able to maintain a professional, approachable demeanour and can do attitude, even in emotionally demanding situations.
If this sounds like you then we will be excited to hear from you!
