You must also have great people skills and the ability to work with people at all levels, from clients and suppliers to volunteers. We are looking for someone who can inspire and excite our applicants. You must be accurate, systematic and flexible with the ability to juggle a wide range of activities.
As you will work across the country, you must hold a current, clean driving licence, have access to your own vehicle, and be willing to undertake site visits to be able to undertake the role.
