To be successful in this role you will:
Have the ability to build effective and credible working relationships and liaise confidently with academics and senior colleagues.
Be adaptable, flexible, proactive, able to work under your own initiative and be a collaborative team leader, with strong interpersonal skills and a positive and enthusiastic approach.
