- Confidence in motivating and inspiring clients to make positive life changes.
- Ability to negotiate effectively with key stakeholders, including agency partners.

**THE BENEFITS**

- Play an important role within a community-led organisation
- Stakeholder pension scheme
- Healthcare cash plan and life assurance
- 24/7 Support provider with wellbeing, advice and money saving resources
