- Correspond with all relevant parties via telephone, email, or letter whilst ensuring to deliver professional standards of customer service to internal and external customers.
- Manage own case load efficiently to achieve monthly targets individually and as part of a team, whilst also maintaining a high standard of quality to meet both internal and external audit requirements.
