You will have excellent communication, data entry and organisational skills as well as a good level of IT competence.
During peak exam periods some flexibility may be required with regards to working hours, with the availability for time off in lieu or overtime to compensate. There may be occasions when an earlier start to the day and/ or later finish are needed.
