You must also be able to demonstrate a good level of understanding of the Operator’s Licence compliance requirements. You must be able to work effectively as part of a team, have team leadership experience, be self-motivated and willing to adopt a flexible approach to meet priorities and deadlines. This role provides direct support for 5 workshops, so the successful applicant will need to be flexible on work location and confident in both an office and workshop reception environment.
