  • Exceptional communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to ask thoughtful questions, explain decisions clearly and document outcomes accurately
  • Strong judgement and critical thinking, enabling you to assess complex situations, make considered decisions independently and know when to escalate or apply safeguards
