- Experience of delivering a diverse portfolio of work and managing work flexibly to adapt as priorities change.
- Good communication skills to communicate technical information on evaluations to non-specialists in ways that are easily understood.
- Strong collaboration skills: able to understand others’ work, priorities and perspectives; able to work in flexible, multi-professional teams which deliver against shared objectives, whether at team, directorate or function level.
