• Highly organised with excellent planning skills.
• Calm under pressure and able to prioritise effectively.
• Passionate about delivering outstanding care.
• Commercially aware and understands the impact operational decisions have on performance.
• Confident using technology and keen to embrace digital systems and AI.
• A natural problem solver who enjoys improving processes.
• An excellent communicator who builds positive relationships.
