Things to consider

This is a varied and fast-paced role that requires strong organisation, communication, and time management skills. The successful applicant will need to be comfortable using digital systems, working across different tasks, and communicating professionally with clients and colleagues.

Some travel may occasionally be required for networking events, meetings, or training opportunities, so flexibility and a willingness to learn are important. Applicants should also be confident working both independently and as part of a supportive team environment.

Working arrangements, location details, and parking/public transport information will be discussed during the recruitment process.

Due to the nature of some client work and access to confidential information, a DBS check may be requested as part of the recruitment process.
