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.
