  • An understanding of delivering excellent customer service in a pressurised visitor/customer service environment.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to deliver information effectively over the telephone, in person and in writing.
  • Ability to work successfully within a team, whilst upholding the values of equality, diversity and inclusion.
