DESCRIPTION 

Learning

  • Monitors outcomes of decisions, considering results and identifying key concepts and principles that may be adaptable in the future

Numeracy

  • Uses relevant information in completing cost benefit analyses

Oral communication

  • Uses listening, questioning and summarising techniques to identify needs and articulate complex concepts

Reading

  • Interprets the textual information obtained from a range of sources, and determines how the content may be applied to the requirements

Writing

  • Develops documentation detailing plans and processes using appropriate structure, layout and technical programming language

Planning and organising

  • Develops plans to manage relatively complex, non-routine tasks, with an awareness of how they may contribute to longer-term operational and strategic goals

Problem solving

  • Develops and implements strategies that ensure that the organisational policies, procedures and regulatory requirements are being met
  • Makes a range of critical and non-critical decisions in relatively complex situations, taking a range of constraints into account
  • Uses systematic, analytical processes in complex non-routine situations, setting goals, gathering relevant information, and identifying and evaluating options, against the agreed criteria
  • Uses a systematic process to identify possible solutions to a difficult problem

Self-management

  • Works autonomously, making high-level decisions to achieve, and improve, organisational goals
  • Takes a lead role in the development of organisational goals, roles and responsibilities
  • Monitors and reviews the organisation’s policies, procedures, and adherence to legislative requirements, in order to implement and manage change
