• A flexible approach combined with a positive attitude
• Accuracy and attention to detail
• Ability to plan, prioritise and organise own workload to meet deadlines while working under pressure

• 5 GCSEs to include maths and English at grade 4 or above
• 2 ‘A’ Levels would be desirable 

What we can offer:

Our staff are at the heart of what we do, and as a result we are always looking to recruit, develop and retain the very best talent we can find.  So, as well as a rewarding career, we offer a range of attractive benefits, such as:

• Excellent pension scheme with employer contributions

• Committed training programme and development opportunities
• Onsite nursery with 20% staff discount
• Discounted Gym and swim membership
• Health and Wellbeing support and a Free Employee Assistance scheme including access to counselling services
