- You will communicate effectively, by actively listening, making points logically, and by using appropriate language, tone, and gesture
- You have great time management and organisational skills, with the ability to work to tight deadlines
- You remain calm and focussed, even in difficult or pressurised situations
- You are detail-orientated, nothing escapes your eye
- You are confident working both on your own or as part of the team.
- You understand and respect the diversity of others' cultures, beliefs, and backgrounds

We will provide you with:

- A market competitive salary and benefits package
- Excellent training to support your learning and development
