The post holder will promote a culture of equality, diversity and inclusion, ensuring the principles of openness, transparency and candour are observed and upheld in all working practices. The post holder will have, or acquire through training provided by the organisation, the appropriate level of safeguarding and knowledge, skills and practice required for the post and be aware of and comply with the organisations safeguarding protection policies and procedures.
