The role requires you to work on projects across the north of England within multi-functional teams and an ability to work collaboratively with others is key to success in this role.�

You will enjoy working in an innovative, fun and engaging way and be able to negotiate and persuade.

You will have excellent communication skills with experience of presenting and delivering messages in a clear, concise, and confident manner which engages audiences and achieves the desired outcomes and you�ll understand how to manage colleagues and be able to demonstrate you can work with others as part of a team in a collaborative, inclusive way.
