• Maintaining an up-to-date record of service stakeholders and assisting with the dissemination of communications with partner organisations
• Working with colleagues across all of our Thrive Tribe services to contribute to new projects and service developments - we’re always looking to share knowledge and resources!
• Ensuring due consideration is given to Information Governance and Clinical Governance legislation, requirements and guidance
• Helping us maintain the ethos of Thrive Tribe by driving our organisational culture forward across our services and using every opportunity to embed our values!
