Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to adapt your tone for different audiences. Confidence building and managing relationships with supporters, customers or partners. Good organisational skills and comfort working to deadlines and targets. A genuine commitment to tackling homelessness, poverty and disadvantage, and alignment with Aspire's values.
