• Feels confident (or is keen to develop confidence) in speaking to groups.
• Enjoy working as part of a supportive team.
• Is open to learning and professional development.
• Can travel (within a reasonable distance) to attend in person, training.

• Accessible resources, mentoring, and workplace adjustments as needed.
• A friendly, inclusive working environment that truly values lived experience.
• Opportunities to grow skills and gain recognised training qualifications.
