• Project lifecycle knowledge: Practical understanding of the full project lifecycle and the ability to work independently without detailed supervision.
• Domain knowledge: Familiarity with Children's Social Care workflows is highly beneficial.
• Analytical mindset: Skilled in evidence-based decision making to ensure robust and effective solutions.
