To be successful in this role, you must be a highly motivated team player with good interpersonal skills, an effective communicator with strong written and verbal communication skills and have a flexible approach to working hours and attendance at no or short notice incidents or operational activities. This role involves shift work. You will be asked to demonstrate flexibility regarding working hours in line with operational demand and occasionally this may require working away from home. For this reason a full UK Driving Licence is essential to the role.
Due to the nature of our work, security is of paramount importance to us and therefore it will be necessary to pass and maintain vetting level SC together with a number of enhanced security checks.
