That is: • Perform the majority of his/her work independently and competently • Seek support if the situation is new or a number of features about the client or workplace setting combine to create complexity • Identify the meaningful aspects of problems and integrate these to generate a number of logically possible conclusions. Conclusions/actions will be modified with new information • Prioritise appropriately • Be sufficiently automatic and maintain a focus on the client or situation • Carry out his/her work in an efficient and timely manner.
