•     possess high ethical standards, sound judgement and the ability to              communicate ideas; and,

•     can think creatively and have an ability to take a wider, strategic view.

This competition represents an exciting and valuable opportunity to make a real difference to the running of a Government Department and its agencies and to ensure that public resources are managed effectively.

NEBMs will receive a remuneration rate of £10,000 per annum.  Time commitment is anticipated to equate to approximately 20 days per year.
