• Budgeting & Time Management: Prepare time budgets for each assignment to ensure efficiency, setting realistic goals to optimise profitability.
  
• Staff Development & Management: Allocate a variety of jobs to trainees, ensuring broad exposure to different tasks. Complete appraisals and sign off training records for all allocated staff, helping develop their skills and effectiveness.
  
• Feedback & Performance Improvement: Provide constructive feedback after each job to identify areas for improvement, ensuring continuous growth and better future performance.
  
• Business Development: Identify opportunities for additional services that can be provided to clients and actively seek new client leads through networking, marketing, and client referrals.
  
• Ad-hoc Projects: Work on special projects, including compliance and value-added services, as required.

• Strong client focus with a commercially aware mindset.
  
• Excellent communication skills—both oral and written—with the ability to engage with a variety of people.
  
• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to multitask and manage competing priorities.
