• Basic Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook skills, or a willingness to learn
• A professional approach when dealing with directors, creditors and clients
• The ability to handle confidential and commercially sensitive information appropriately
• A positive attitude and willingness to ask questions and learn from experienced colleagues

The entry requirements for this programme are as follows:

• 3 GCSEs (or equivalent) at grades 4+ (A-C) in any subject
