ABOUT THE ROLE

Are you a veteran with a deep understanding of military culture and a passion for supporting others in their transition to civilian life?

Selected Duties:

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for veterans and key project stakeholders
  • Design, implement, and trial RPL models specifically tailored to defence-to-civilian transitions
