Experience of using the Jigsaw system is highly desirable. However, full training can be given. You will also need to demonstrate effective communication and interpersonal skills, to work closely with others in the Council’s homelessness, asylum seeker, refugee and welfare rights service areas to help to drive data analysis and performance management.
