This position is perfect for individuals with backgrounds in retail, hospitality, administration, driving, sales, or any customer-facing roles. No prior research experience is necessary! We're looking for reliable, enthusiastic people who enjoy helping others and seek flexible, part-time hours that fit around other commitments.
