  • Ability to create and share relevant information with colleagues at differing levels.
  • Ability to collate and understand requirements for non-standard provisions and services, subsequently designing and deploying solutions to meet those needs.
  • Ability to prioritise workloads with the minimum of supervision, with good time management skills - for yourself and colleagues under your management/direction.
  • Demonstrable ability to analyse and resolve issues with a dynamic and proactive approach, either as part of a team or working independently.
  • Excellent customer-facing skills, with a focus on improving customer experience.

What We Offer

  • Competitive starting salary with annual salary increments/pay reviews.
  • 30 days annual leave (38 days with bank holidays).
  • Flexible working arrangements, with forums and inclusive facilities to support our staff.
