• Managing own portfolio of consultations and assessments with key stakeholders in the practice to give guidance on Independence considerations.
• Other ad-hoc projects as the department so determines from time to time, including the provision of general support to other independence activities.

This role is for you if:

• Ability to demonstrate clear understanding of commercial / client-facing issues, and empathy with the client facing practitioners who the Independence team support;
• Intellectual capacity to make good judgements with strong analytical, organisational, project management skills and attention to detail;
• Excellent communication skills, able to interact with self-confidence at all levels, as well as managing internal relationships, e.g. with key stakeholders;
