• Strong IT literacy, especially with Microsoft Office and phone/email communication
• A friendly, enthusiastic attitude and team spirit
• High attention to detail and strong organisational skills
• Ability to multitask and prioritise effectively in a busy environment
• Discretion and professionalism when dealing with sensitive or confidential information
• A proactive mindset and a willingness to support different teams
• A good working history, demonstrating reliability and progression
• A sense of humour and a desire to contribute to a growing business
