Ideally you will have experience of working within a large multi-site organisation and be a self-motivated, effective team player with a positive “can-do” approach. You will use your initiative to effectively evaluate priorities, with the ability to multi-task and complete tasks to deadlines. You will adopt a methodical approach to your work, ensuring that you maintain effective communication with your team members, client users, our wider staff and management. You will have GCSEs in English and Maths and a willingness to undertake appropriate training is essential. You will be expected to work across sites from time to time as required.
