You’ll maintain an accurate record of invoices and collect payments, so you’ll need to be comfortable with numbers. You’ll also need to follow up on unpaid accounts and any payment queries.
You’ll operate the main switchboard, so you’ll often be the first point of contact for veterans and visitors, so it goes without saying you’ll need excellent customer care skills and a comfortable telephone manner. You’ll respond to plenty of email queries too, so you’ll need some basic IT skills and good written English skills.
