About you
You will be looking forward to joining a collaborative team that is supportive, driven and solutions focused.

You enjoy working autonomously - but understand that the team support is vital which ensures that not only are you supported, but you support your colleagues as needed naturally.

When building strong working relationships with your stakeholders (internal and external) you consider multiple perspectives to determine the needs of the group - and then put these in to action.


Feedback is provided by our stakeholders - the ability to be agile and eager to take any information on board, facilitate conversations and be curious, opening minded and creative will see you build trust and credibility with them.

You embody our values of Respect, Integrity, Collaboration and Achievement and see these values underpin your behaviours and interactions.
