Ability to use, learn and adapt to IT at an intermediate level, including Microsoft and other software programs
Ability and willingness to show flexibility of working patterns, responding to the needs of the service and residents
Ability to promote the service and provide outreach-based provision, with an ability to liaise and work effectively in partnership with stakeholders
