Wenona supports both academic and support staff to develop their expertise through initiatives such as Wenona Teaching Fellowships, Seeding Grants and ongoing outstanding professional learning that develops and supports career development into the future.

- Working as part of the Library team, ensure the day to day operation and administration of the Library is efficient and all systems, resources and equipment are well maintained. This will also include shelving books, acquisition and processing of materials and ensuring the organisation of resources and spaces is conducive to the smooth operation of the Library as a learning space.
