You’ll also need:

 

  • Good communication skills because you’ll interact with lots of people across the organisation and externally through phone, in person and email A flexible approach to work as sometimes things can change, and so you’ll need to be able to prioritise work and sometimes change tasks quickly A passion to always give the best service
