Main duties of the job

You are required to demonstrate excellent communication skills, be able to work efficiently and accurately, pay attention to detail, and be able to integrate into teams.

4 days each week will be work-based, gaining the vocational experience and completing competencies required to complete the Level 3 diploma. 1 day per week will be given to learn the knowledge required to underpin this diploma.
