- It’s essential that you have a full UK Driving Licence and access to your own a car, with at least a year of driving experience.
- You’ll need to be physically mobile, as you’ll be visiting multiple locations on a daily basis.
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills with an excellent standard of both verbal and written English.
- Similar previous experience is not essential - we have colleagues who excel from a diverse range of backgrounds, whether that’s customer service, retail, sales, ex-Armed Forces or security, however, there is one thing in common - excellent communication skills.
