You will have excellent verbal and written communication skills, as well as excellent relationship management skills with a wide range of audiences. Using your experience and analytical skills, you will monitor policy developments and identify and act upon opportunities for influence. You will be highly organised, with the ability to prioritise and meet deadlines. Most of all you will be a great listener, advocator and passionate to make a Difference.
As part of the Wales team; and with close links to the individual Welsh Trusts and the Policy, Advocacy and Campaigns teams within the Trusts’ central UK team, you will need to have excellent collaboration and facilitation skills and always strive to bring people together to achieve their goals.
Our client wants their people to be as diverse as nature, so they particularly encourage applications from people who are underrepresented within the sector, including people from minority ethnic backgrounds and people with disabilities.
