• Work within the hours of 09:00–20:00, splitting hours across mornings, afternoons and evenings, with some Saturday work if required.

• Live within a 10-mile radius of the location and travel to addresses within a 40-mile radius from the advertised location.
• Experience using a laptop and a smartphone.
• Self-disciplined, self-motivated and able to work without supervision.
• Excellent verbal communication skills and enjoyment in meeting and talking to people.
• Interviews will be conducted between 09:00–20:00, with hours split across mornings, afternoons and evenings; flexibility to work on Saturdays if required.
• Full valid UK Driving Licence (including EU Nationals' rights) and full use of a car for work purposes including business use.
• Proof of Identity and a broadband internet connection at your home address prior to taking up employment.
