  • Good communication skills. Tact and an ability to deal constructively with competing interests and to prioritise those interests are a real advantage in this role.
  • Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail.
  • The ability to conduct training sessions for practitioners at different levels, including formal presentations, workshops and one-on-one training.
