Main Responsibilities

ARE WE RIGHT FOR YOU?

We expect a lot but we’ll give a lot to get the right people. There are 4 main things we look for

• We want people with bags of character. We don’t want you to hide your personality when you’re at work, we want you to feel comfortable, to be who you are.
• We want people people. You’ve got to like being around others, smiling and chatting because you like people, not because someone told him to smile and chat.
• We need extra milers. So if you think the job description is all you have to do, then we’re not for you.
• You have to put your heart into it. When you tell a guess you’re happy to help, you have to mean it.
