About the Role

You have well‑developed written communication skills and are confident preparing clear, professional correspondence and internal communications. You are comfortable working collaboratively with senior stakeholders and understand the importance of timely information sharing, confidentiality and discretion. Your strong interpersonal skills allow you to respond professionally to enquiries, provide practical support to colleagues and contribute positively to a small, busy team.
