Ideal Candidate

We are looking for a proactive and organised individual who thrives in a busy environment and is passionate about delivering excellent customer service. You will be a confident communicator with the ability to build positive relationships with customers, colleagues and external partners, representing the Company in a professional and courteous manner at all times.

The successful candidate will be able to work effectively using their own initiative while contributing positively as part of a close-knit team. You will have strong organisational and administrative skills, with the ability to prioritise competing workloads, manage multiple tasks simultaneously and meet tight deadlines within a fast-paced environment.

You will be comfortable using Microsoft Office applications and a variety of IT systems, with accurate keyboard and data entry skills. Previous experience in an administrative, customer service or operational support role would be advantageous, along with experience of coordinating activities, scheduling work, raising invoices or maintaining records.
