We have an exciting intern opportunity for a blind or partially sighted person to join our team and be our first point of contact for clients, organisations and the general public. The post will take the lead dealing with external calls, emails and visitors to the organisation. The postholder will be answering the phone; dealing with general enquiries; transferring calls; taking accurate messages and ensuring that they are passed on promptly to the right person; and providing other administrative support to the team as required.
This is a great opportunity for someone with a caring and understanding phone manner to add real value to a small but growing organisation, and to learn new skills in the process.
The successful applicant will have excellent communications skills, a good standard of verbal and written English, a high attention to detail and a caring, professional and positive attitude.
The role is part of the Get Set Progress internships programme for blind and partially sighted people to secure that first rung on the career ladder or who are returning to work following a career break. We are therefore only looking for blind and partially sighted applicants for this role*.
