You will be patient, but persistent and able to motivate individuals using a creative and flexible approach. You will provide continuity for individuals by linking closely with the Team. Working within the bounds of the co-produced action plan you will make sure things are not forgotten. But, you will be confident in raising any new considerations with the PROSPER Team.

The post will require travel and full driving license, appropriate insurance cover and use of a car is essential.
