You will be highly computer literate, with demonstrable experience in using common software applications e.g. MS Word, Excel, Outlook, Adobe Acrobat, and have the ability to learn quickly and use specialist software. You will have experience of working with structured records such as cataloguing or metadata and have excellent attention to detail, with particular regard to accurate and efficient data entry.
