  • Demonstrable commitment to the values of co-production and knowledge of how to embed these values in practice.
  • An understanding of the factors that enable or prevent change in adult social care and how evidence can be used to increase likelihood of success.
  • Excellent presentation skills, both verbal and written, with an ability to communicate effectively with social care stakeholders.
  • High level of personal organisation and motivation.
  • Collaborative and flexible approach to work and excellent inter-personal skills.
