Strong IT skills are required for this role as there are a number of portals and bespoke systems used multiple times daily.  

The working hours change weekly, there is a rolling shift pattern that will require you to be part of the out of hours rota, covering shifts on a weekend and evening (from home), this is usually once every six weeks.  This is rewarded by way of time off in lieu and a bonus of around £5,000 per year (£25k salary and £5k shift bonus).
