• Proactive, reliable and able to work independently.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Professional and discreet when handling confidential information.
• Strong attention to detail.
• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office.
• Comfortable communicating with senior management, clients, suppliers and contractors.

WHAT’S ON OFFER

• Salary of £37,000–£40,000 per annum.
• Monday to Friday working.
• Full-time, permanent position.
• Hybrid working potential of one day per week from home after probation.
• The opportunity to work closely with the Managing Director of a rapidly expanding business.
