• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to assess complex information, identify solutions and provide informed advice to students.

• Demonstrated experience building and managing relationships with multiple stakeholders to achieve positive outcomes.

• Experience supporting students through case management, including developing support plans, monitoring progress and coordinating interventions that promote wellbeing, engagement, persistence and success.
