  • Experience of working in an administration/secretarial role.
  • Intermediate to advanced level of proficiency with MS Office programs and a good standard of written English.
  • Ability to generate professional correspondence unaided.

We are building an organisation where anyone with drive and talent can pursue the career they want. We are building a culture where anyone, regardless of gender, race, age, sexuality, disability, background or any other characteristic, can progress and be proud to work for us.
