    • Good organisational and time‑management skills, with the ability to prioritise tasks in a fast‑paced environment
    • A proactive, reliable team player with a positive “can‑do” attitude
    • Willingness to undertake training and develop skills within a GDP/GMP‑controlled environment
    • Commitment to maintaining confidentiality, professionalism, and high standards at all times
