  • Self-motivated, capable of working independently and as part of a team; organized and methodical; reliable with strong interpersonal skills; able to prioritize tasks and meet deadlines while maintaining attention to detail.

Additionally, you should demonstrate an understanding of and commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion.
