  • We’re always growing and changing so you’ll need to demonstrate how you positively embrace change personally and drive change successfully within your business.
  • Whilst it’s all about the people we’re not pink and fluffy, you’ll need to demonstrate your commercial edge too.
  • We’ve got a coaching style with our managers; we work together to help find the best solutions, so you’ll need to show us your coaching and problem solving skills.
  • You’ll have experience of dealing with a wide range of ER issues and feel comfortable dealing with issues from basics to complex issues.
