Excellent administration and organisational skills, with an ability to prioritise effectively and manage your own demanding workload is a requirement for this position.

You’ll have regular virtual catch ups with the team and wider team meetings are often held in our offices across all regions, so you’ll very much feel the benefits of the people around you.

**What’s in it for me**

We invest in our colleagues because we know if they have a better day at work, the service our customers receive will be better. The Aster Offer is our offer to our colleagues to ensure they have a great day at work and includes things like:

- Flexible working - whilst some roles need to be carried out in a specific place at a specific time, where possible we encourage our colleagues to work to their own schedule at a location that suits them, their team and our business’ needs
