  • Proven ability to solve problems independently and creatively, with strong customer focus and confidence in managing challenging situations, while positively adapting to change and demonstrating empathy toward others.
Whilst normal office working hours are Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, occasional out of hours working may be required to meet the needs of our customers.
