It is important that the candidate is professional, combined with a warm and approachable personality but is also resilient and calm under pressure. We are looking for someone who is able to work efficiently in a busy environment and can successfully prioritise their workload to meet deadlines. It is imperative that the successful candidate is comfortable with a high level of discretion and confidentiality.
