  • Systems and technology which enable and promote hybrid working.

  • Enthusiasm, motivation and positivity.
  • Resilience and the ability to respond positively under pressure.
  • A passion for making a difference to the lives of families across the city.
  • An ability to encourage and support others to deliver excellent customer service and to give positive and constructive feedback.
