• willingness to learn IT systems - comfortable using a computer and open to learning new systems, including basic Microsoft Office tools like Word and Excel
• physical requirements - the role involves regular lifting and moving of items, sometimes from one floor of the building to another, so a good level of fitness is needed. You should also be comfortable with manual tasks throughout the day
• proactive and flexible - a positive attitude, attention to detail, and the ability to adapt to changing tasks and priorities
• Due to the Police Vetting that is required for this position, you must have lived in the UK for a minimum of 3 years
