Excellent communication skills, both written and oral, are essential, as is the ability to support the team in the development, organisation, promotion and evaluation of various activities. The ability to keep thorough, accurate and up-to-date records in accordance with departmental processes is critical to the role.
The post holder will be expected to demonstrate autonomy and initiative in the arrangement of their immediate work priorities and an exceptional ability to respond to moving priorities in a busy service; additionally, to a level appropriate to the grade, when encountering problems in areas relating to their remit, the post-holder is expected to be able to propose suitable solutions.
