In my current role flexibility, confidentiality and an ability to respond sensitively and diplomatically to a variety of situations, is essential. Whether it be language that acts as a barrier, the sensitivities of a particular situation, or heightened tensions, compassion, understanding and professionalism must be shown at all times to provide a quality frontline customer focused service.

I consult this throughout the day to review changing priorities and maintain focus.
