Communication Skills: A professional and approachable phone manner; comfortable speaking directly with clients.
Attention to Detail: An uncompromisingly precise and thorough approach to all tasks.
Reliability: The ability to work independently and efficiently with little supervision.
Note: No FAIS qualification is required as this is a non-representative role.
