• Strong keyboard and IT skills, with the ability to work confidently with data.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal information effectively with clinical and non-clinical staff.
• Experience in a clinical or information environment is desirable, but not essential – we’ll provide full training and support.
• A proactive, organised approach and a genuine interest in healthcare quality.
