You will have a diplomatic and tactful approach towards problem solving and should enjoy working as a team player to deliver excellent customer service.
With the ability to use initiative and experience of using IT systems you will also help us develop our digital agenda, particularly in relation to the modernisation and digitalisation of governance processes. Experience of Modern.Gov will be beneficial.
