- Curious and analytical, with the ability to understand patterns and identify insights
- A strong communicator, particularly when writing case studies and reports
- Organised and able to manage multiple relationships at once
- Proactive and comfortable working independently in a small team

- Play a key role in shaping a programme that is scaling nationally
- Work flexibly within a small, supportive team
- Opportunity to influence how impact is measured and communicated
