* Excellent written and verbal communication skills
* Be proactive and deliver exceptional customer experience
* Demonstrate a strong level of resilience when working in a fast -paced customer service environment

* 26 days holiday, plus bank holidays and holiday purchase scheme of up to 5 days each year
