To be successful in this position, you’ll have:

Demonstrated experience providing high-level executive and office support with the ability to act with discretion and strict confidentiality.

Proven ability to work proactively and autonomously, using initiative, discretionary judgement and problem-solving skills to make sound decisions.

Highly developed written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to draft correspondence, and to liaise effectively with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders.

Demonstrated experience in diary and travel management, meeting and event coordination, and records and information management, with strong organisational skills and attention to detail.

Experience supporting projects or initiatives, including planning, tracking actions and timelines, and synthesising information from multiple sources to provide clear analysis and advice.

High level of digital literacy, including proficiency in Microsoft Office, email, internet and electronic document/records management systems.

Previous experience in an Executive Assistant or Project role is highly desirable

Please Note: Appointment to this position is subject to passing a Working with Children and National Police Check.

Integrated planning and governance to align activities with University-wide education priorities

Strategic budgeting and resource prioritisation to maximise impact and value

Targeted communications and stakeholder engagement

People- and safety-focused support, including oversight of OHS and broader risk consideration
