The post holder will need to have excellent communication skills to assist them in dealing with a wide range of people and an interest in investigating and solving problems using a range of information sources and systems.

While the role may be allocated to a specific division, the Trust will continue to review its reporting structure. Changes to reporting lines may be required in the normal course of business. Any post holder must be aware of the changing nature of the organisation and therefore, be flexible about any potential impact.
