You'll need to be flexible and adaptable in your approach to work and it's essential that you are able and willing to move seamlessly between tasks in order to keep the mail moving. 

You will be punctual, detail focused and possess a flexible attitude to work. You'll also be able to remain calm during a particularly busy period, focusing on the task at hand.  

You should be as happy working alone as you will be working as part of a wider team to ensure that together you are contributing to a welcoming, diverse environment where you can make a real impact.

A strong sense of community is extremely important as is the desire to get to know the different customers you encounter. Some experience in a customer-facing role would be ideal.
