- Proactive, flexible and responsive, with strong interpersonal and relationship management skills and the ability to work under your own initiative
- Lived experience of mental ill-health, distress or trauma, with a passion for NSUN’s mission and work, and the ability to communicate it effectively to a wide variety of stakeholders
