- If you have good communication skills, with the ability to network and build effective relationships with a variety of people,
- You should have a good working understanding of supporting vulnerable with complex needs, such as substance use, mental and physical health issues, and the ability to understand the difficulties they experience in accessing services that fully meet their needs.
