About you
You will bring experience of working with policies, regulations or quality processes in a complex organisation, together with the judgement and confidence to provide accurate and practical advice. You will be able to build constructive relationships with a wide range of colleagues and partners, manage competing priorities and communicate complex information clearly in writing and in person.
