This role will include acting as the first point of contact for candidates undertaking educational programmes being delivered; and escalating any concerns to the responsible programme lead for the programme being delivered.
You will need a flexible approach to meet the needs and demands of volunteers and the public, which at times will include working evenings and weekends in agreement with your line manager. You may also need to travel across the Trust (business expenses paid in line with Trust policy).
