• Ability to assess information, follow regulatory processes, and work within defined frameworks
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including handling formal correspondence
• Excellent attention to detail with a methodical, process‑driven approach
• Ability to work at pace in a complex and changing environment
• Confident handling sensitive information with discretion and professionalism
• Strong IT skills (Outlook, Word, Excel - intermediate), experience with case management systems advantageous
• Understanding of compliance principles, data protection, and confidentiality requirements
• Background in regulated environments involving statutory or quasi‑statutory screening or decision‑making highly beneficial
