• Some relevant experience is helpful but not essential; enthusiasm and willingness to learn are key.
• Strong organisational and leadership skills.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Proficiency in MS Office or similar project management tools.
• Full UK driving licence.

What's on Offer

• Competitive salary.
• Comprehensive benefits package.
• Opportunities for professional development and career progression.
