You must be reliable, have a polite manner and a friendly approach to help you get on with people at all levels. You will need to be a good team worker but also have the ability to work on your own initiative when required and be able to work under pressure to meet tight deadlines. 

This is an exciting opportunity to gain experience within the Local Authority and develop knowledge and understanding of the Education Service.
