Furthermore, the Trust is committed to fostering professional development opportunities and encourages ongoing collaboration among team members throughout the academic year.

Essential skills:

• Excellent organisational and planning skills
• Outstanding accuracy and attention to detail
• Demonstrate a high level of initiative
• Computer literacy in the usual office applications
• Ability to work on own initiative
