Events and Activities: Actively support and participate in a wide range of events and activities for all ages, from story times to digital workshops.
Flexible Teamwork: Work collaboratively as part of a dedicated team

Exceptional Customer Focus: Proven experience in delivering excellent customer service and supporting colleagues in achieving high standards of service delivery.
Communication: Highly effective communication skills, able to interact clearly and confidently with diverse customer groups.
