- Ensure positive engagement while building and maintaining trusting relationships across the directorate, the department and Private Offices.
- All teams within the Division have regular exposure to Ministers; the post holders will need to develop a relationship with Ministers’ Private Offices and will likely have the opportunity to brief Ministers face to face.
