General attributes
1.       General (soft skill)	Teamwork	Teamwork will be a very important skill when working within a charity as you will have to work with other people in order to organise/run events. Also in regards to the job, you will have to work with the manager so having good team working skills here will be useful as you are having to work with another person.
Personal attitudes
1.	Determination	Determination within a charity is a very key thing to have. If you are working to provide services to people you will need to be determined to do the jobs to the best of your ability. If you are determined it will show in your work. Hard work and determination will let you get the job done on time and to the best of your ability. It is not good to be determined to the point where you cannot see anyone else’s view and are completely set on your own point of view though, it is good to be determined but also be able to see other peoples opinions as valid.
2.	Tolerance	If you are working in any business tolerance is one of the most important things to have. It is ok to have an opinion on someone based on your own personal judgment but it is then not ok to act on your opinion and start treating the person differently to how you would treat everyone else. Some people have their own ways of acting or doing tasks and you may have different ways than them. It does not mean that they or you should be treated differently. ‘Live and let live’ is a good approach to working with others. If someone is behaving completely inappropriately and is causing danger or offence to others this is when you should not be tolerant and speak your mind encouraging them to settle down or stop.
