You will be involved in supporting staff members to make best use of the resources developed.

In addition, you will also produce and disseminate pathway information to colleagues within other teams, to shape electronic recording systems and support referrers. The nature of this work will require you to have excellent communication skills, as well as to be creative and use your own initiative.
