• Working with complex processes, procedures or eligibility criteria.
• Providing clear and concise advice on sensitive, difficult or confidential matters.
• Working accurately under pressure and meeting challenging deadlines.
• Supporting parents, schools and other agencies.

• Effective written and verbal communication skills.
• The ability to interpret and apply policies, procedures and statutory guidance.
