Skills and experience required:

- Proactive and enthusiastic attitude, with the ability to be well-organised and able to multi-task effectively, with a right first-time approach.
- Ideally, Maths and English GCSE’s at Grade C/4 or equivalent. Any purchasing qualifications would be an advantage but not essential.
