• Is organised, accurate and comfortable working with data and spreadsheets
• Has clear written and spoken communication skills (minute-taking experience an advantage)
• Is confident with IT, including Microsoft 365 (social media skills welcome)
• Enjoys working as part of a small, supportive team

In return we offer:

• Salary £29,000–£31,000, depending on skills and experience
