Welsh Skills

Welsh Skills Desirable: This post is advertised as Welsh Desirable. This doesn’t mean essential; whilst the candidate doesn't need to have skills in Welsh, we'll consider it an advantage when short‑listing and selecting candidates. This isn’t ‘fluency’, just Speaking & Listening skills at Level 3 (equivalent to CEFR B2) or above. Level 3 means basic conversations with patients about their everyday health.

Responsibilities

The post holder will be responsible for reporting data and supporting the delivery of operational projects (for example, relating to artificial intelligence, service evaluation and quality improvement).
