- Ability to build and maintain positive working relationships with a wide variety of people
- Demonstrated ability to independently plan, schedule and manage projects within set timeframes and allocated resources
- Demonstrated high level organisational administrative skills and high attention to details
- Demonstrated ability to show initiative, solve problems and contribute to the development of evidence
