The postholder will think creatively and strategically as well as being able to demonstrate the importance of learning and the voice of lived experience as part of the route to sustained change.
Your experience should include; developing community groups, supporting the development of people’s confidence and skills, putting the person first and seeking out the best way to capture experience and learning; and being able to operate with resilience, flexibility and integrity.
