  • Demonstrate honesty, integrity, care and compassion when dealing with others, utilising tact and persuasion skills when necessary.

The post holder will be expected to lead a labs IT team. You should be able to demonstrate excellent operational and technical skills along with experience in managing a complex digital environment.
