The Person we’re looking for:

We seek someone with the right mindset and approach, including:

• Relationship-building skills and confidence working with colleagues and stakeholders

• Multitasking ability while remaining calm
• Adaptability and resilience in a fast-paced environment

Salary range: £38,000 - £45,000 p/a depending on experience

Our process includes:
