You will be leading the team to achieve a high standard of customer service, in a proactive and positive manner; continuously promoting and contributing towards our culture of inclusivity.

The working hours are on a full-time basis. You will need to be flexible in terms of working hours which will include some evenings and weekends as part of the regular working week, rota patterns are on a 5 days out of 7 basis. The role is predominantly based around Highfield Campus but you will be required to travel between campuses to supervise operations as required.
