- Provide clear and professional advice and support to students, academic colleagues and professional services staff.
- Organise and support formal meetings, including exam boards and malpractice hearings, and prepare papers and notes as required.

We welcome candidates who bring diverse perspectives, experiences, and approaches to their work.
