Skills:

• A trusted adviser mindset: commercially aware, confident with clients and able to explain complex matters clearly.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build relationships with clients and colleagues.
• Well organised with good attention to detail, and the ability to prioritise competing demands.
• Collaborative, proactive and opportunistic, with a continuous improvement approach.
• Comfortable working in a growing practice environment and contributing to team development.
• Proficient in MS Office skills (Advanced Excel would be desirable).
• UK driving licence and access to own transport.
