We are looking for a professional who has an ability to empathise and communicate sometimes sensitive and technical information in a way which the public can easily understand. You will also be required to demonstrate an ability to manage competing priorities and remain calm, even when the pressure of workload is high. Strong IT skills and a willingness to learn about the latest techniques, software and scientific methodologies are also essential.
