  • Processing work in line with agreed procedures, business rules and scripts, meeting defined quality standards.
  • Maintaining accurate and up-to-date records on databases and manual systems to support audit requirements.
  • Planning and prioritising your workload to ensure deadlines are met, escalating queries where appropriate and identifying opportunities to improve processes.

What you’ll bring:

  • Strong attention to detail, with the ability to maintain accurate records and follow defined processes.
  • Experience working in a fast-moving, structured, team-based environment.
  • A customer-focused approach, with confidence in delivering a high-quality, professional service.
