- Experience in an administrative or project co-ordination function.

- Excellent writing skills and attention to detail, with the ability to work autonomously.

- Excellent communication and time management skills, and readiness to adapt to changing priorities.

- You must be computer literate with an excellent working knowledge of Office 365 and a willingness to develop your knowledge in this area to effectively utilise digital tools, such as Sharepoint, to help the team manage its workload.
