• Good communication and teamwork skills
• Reliability, resilience, and flexibility
• Willingness to learn and develop professionally
• A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle
• Please note that we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role; applicants must therefore have the right to work in the UK.
