We’ll provide you with opportunities to influence policy development and demonstrate your performance management and monitoring skills.

This is about managing multiple stakeholders and multi-agency partnerships. Experience of delivering services within complex statutory frameworks and working directly with elected members through committee structures is a pre-requisite.
