  • Excellent interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills, with the ability to influence and maintain positive and lasting relationships with a range of internal and external stakeholders.

  • An understanding of and commitment to UNSW's aims, objectives, and values in action, together with relevant policies and guidelines.
  • Knowledge of health & safety (psychosocial and physical) responsibilities and commitment to attending relevant health and safety training.
