• Focus on building and nurturing your team from recruitment through ongoing development, fostering personal and professional growth.
• Care about creating an inclusive environment where team members feel respected and that they belong, allowing them to thrive in their roles and careers.
• Are a forward-thinking problem solver, capable of quick decision-making and thinking on your feet.
