This permanent role (full- or part-time) offers Monday–Friday daytime hours (08:30–16:30) and a salary of £24,937–£26,598 pro rata.

Essential requirements include NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent), the specified GCSEs (certificates must be produced at interview), strong IT and data-entry skills, excellent communication and problem-solving, ability to plan and prioritise, and willingness to obtain a DBS check and travel across the county.
