· Develop relationships with internal and external stakeholders to help shape, deliver and influence the outputs of the projects, ensuring ongoing good communication with key stakeholders.

· Use public and patient involvement approaches to support insight development as appropriate.

· Analyse, interpret and present data using both quantitative and qualitative techniques as appropriate.

Undertake any other relevant duties and projects delegated by the Policy Manager in line with the responsibilities of the post.
