Digital skills - from basic IT to coding
Customer service experience
Language, research or reading skills

If this is the right role for you
If the role is suitable, we will check your references. If you will be working with under 18s or vulnerable adults, you must also complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.

Finally, we will arrange your induction, training and start dates.
