* Excellent attention to detail with confidence handling data
* Competent user of MS Office and able to pick up new systems quickly
* Good numeracy skills. Strong Maths ability would be an advantage
* Professional, organised and able to work efficiently under pressure
* Confidential and reliable with excellent communication skills
