- Communication skills are also required, we spend a lot of time talking to clients and authorities and you would have to be comfortable doing this.
Desirable Skills
- If you are already up to speed with Excel that would be a distinct advantage.
- It would be good if you can demonstrate some work experience preferably gained in an office environment.
- This role would also suit someone with a keen desire to enter this profession and be able to commit to progressing within it.
