In addition, the decision making structures are flat/ collegial, which means the Coordinator needs to ensure that mechanisms are in place for input into decisions from all and to understand when delegated authority can be applied. The structure necessitates that the Coordinator be highly autonomous and proactive.For informal enquiries, please contact Sophie Coogan via email: [email protected].About You 1
