Good knowledge of devolution and political systems/structures in the UK at a national and local level, as well as opportunities to influence them
Ability to independently plan your own programme of work and apply strategic thinking.

Leading pilot programmes will mean a pro-active, self-starter approach is essential, to enjoy the role, and gain buy-in both externally and internally across the charity.
