What You Need: Tenacity & Grit: You must be comfortable picking up the phone, asking probing questions, and standing your ground with external suppliers. Patience & Detail Focus: Happy with repetitive data entry, digging through paperwork, and remaining productive during long call hold times.

An Enhanced DBS check is also required for this position. Benefits: Competitive salary with room for growth as you gain independence.

Outstanding long-term career progression opportunities into wider operational and leadership roles. Could this be your next challenge? This is a Temporary-to-Permanent vacancy.
