About the Job

What’s more, you have a flair for proactively identifying opportunities to improve processes and implement improvements to enhance service delivery and are adept at analysing problems and finding potential solutions. Sensitivity in dealing with international and study abroad students from different backgrounds is important too, as is the ability to work in a small team and on your own initiative, while your IT skills should include proficiency in word-processing and familiarity with database packages and spreadsheets.
