“tin man” by katie van nooten
This job calls for compassion and understanding
A willingness to share with diverse groups and individuals
The successful applicant will take responsibility for the welfare of others
It is a position where a keen eye for duty of care applies
Where dignity and respectful engagement are expected, and required
The role is one of leadership
The delegation of duties necessitates understanding of the various forms of merit
Authority is to be exercised with close attention paid to accountability
Demonstrable professional skills and knowledge will reflect ongoing learning
The position requires common sense
Applied to a process of evidence based informed decision making
The appointee must always act with integrity
As part of a natural tendency toward ethical consideration
The tasks to be actioned demand empathy
An ability walk in another’s shoes
Humans need not apply
