You’ll be super organised, able to plan and juggle multiple activities with ease, and the fast pace of the role will not phase you!  

We are after someone who takes real pride in their work to ensure that the customer receives the best service possible and that improvements are flagged, acknowledged and actioned as we look to grow the business.  

You will be joining a supportive and collaborative team, so you will be someone who is prepared to help out, with the good of the team always in the forefront of your mind.

Not shy to share your thoughts in a constructive fashion, you will be comfortable in a corporate environment and will understand the complexities of working for a matrix style organisation.
