Demonstrating genuine care for colleagues and contributing to a positive culture
-
Building meaningful relationships and using emotional intelligence to influence and support others
-
Managing multiple projects and priorities, while focusing on outcomes and impact

Freedom to work both autonomously and collaborating with a supportive team to deliver shared objectives
- Please note that as part of the recruitment process for this opportunity, candidates will be expected to complete a task during the interview stages.
We would also encourage applications from candidates who perhaps do not possess all the attributes and experience listed above but are competent with the majority and would be able to quickly develop the additional skills and experience required in post with our full support. We would also love to hear about other knowledge and experience you may have that is not listed but could be of interest.
