Foundation skills

• Reading: Interprets, and critically analyses, complex texts and applies the appropriate strategies to construct meaning from complex technical documents
• Writing: Displays a knowledge of structure and layout, employing a broad vocabulary, grammatical structure and the conventions appropriate to text, when developing documentation
• Oral communication: Demonstrates flexibility in spoken texts by choosing the appropriate structures and strategies Applies appropriate strategies to extract the main ideas from oral texts when liaising with stakeholders, facilitating training and informing parties on the administration method
• Interact with others: Recognises and applies, the protocols governing what to communicate, with whom, and how, when liaising with stakeholders, facilitating training and informing parties on administration methods Recognises the importance of joint ownership of the process, and outcomes, and tries to identify common ground, shared goals, and agreement on the best course of action
• Get the work done: Sequences and schedules complex activities, monitors implementation, and manages relevant communication, when implementing a prioritised plan and database, scheduling timelines, allocating responsibilities, and establishing goals and methods Makes a range of critical and non-critical decisions in relatively complex situations, taking a range of constraints into account Uses analytical processes to decide on a course of action, establishing the criteria for deciding between options Demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of principles, concepts, language and practices associated with the digital world, and uses these to troubleshoot and understand, the uses and potential of new technology
