You'll be naturally friendly and want to get stuck in, working with your team to deliver great results. You care about the community and working with local schools, governments and local charities. As you'll be out and about and interacting with the local community including vulnerable groups, you'll need be over the age of 18 and able to pass an enhanced level safeguarding check.
