You will also have the ability to lobby effectively and successfully build relationships with key advocacy targets. You will have experience of working in networks, and be a good team worker with experience of working in a multi-cultural or international context. You will have strong written and oral communication skills, and be innovative and flexible. Ideally, you will have experience of working with faith based actors.
