You will help others to do the same, in a professional and organised manner, to successfully keep on top of a high demand service. You will have the ability to bounce back quickly when encountering inevitable setbacks, and during times of high pressure.

Your written output is excellent, and you have an eagle-eye for detail. You will produce high quality case management entries in a timely way, incorporating diverse feedback from a range of voices. You will constantly check back to documentation, guidelines, or other information sources, to ensure that no question or task has been missed.

You will be proactive, energetic, and a fast learner. You will receive plenty of supervision and guidance, and will bring energy, curiosity, and thoroughness. You will have the opportunity to manage a lot of interesting cases, and will gain new skills quickly, enhancing both the team and your long-term career. You will have an interest in services that make an impact on peoples’ lives.

You will be professional and easy to be around There will be periods that require significant amounts of effort to get things done, and the learning curve will be steep. You will relish the opportunity to get ‘stuck in’ and will be professional, committed, and motivated to our collective success.
