- assist Centre staff with purchases and finance management as well as help with various other tasks as required, commensurate with the grade.

The broad scope of this role provides excellent opportunities for personal and professional development, including learning new transferrable skills. This is an exciting and varied role that would suit an organised administrative generalist, willing to work in a busy environment, who is looking for a challenge and opportunity to develop. We are looking for someone who has the following demonstrable skills:

- The aptitude to understand and follow processes as well as lead on continuous improvement and designing new processes;
