• Personable, solutions-focused and confident working in a fast-paced environment
• Desire to contribute to team growth and support others

What you’ll be doing

• Managing a purely Property & Finance COP caseload (no Health & Welfare work)
• Working on high-value, complex deputyship matters
• Supporting the wider team with supervision and day-to-day problem-solving
• Contributing to the overall growth and development of the COP department
• Working closely with senior leadership within a large, nationally structured team
• Helping relieve pressure on a team currently operating at very high utilisation
