About the role

You’ll respond to student enquiries in person, by phone, email and through our Student Management Platform, providing accurate information and connecting students with the right services and support when needed.

About You

You’ll bring:
Strong verbal and written communication skills and a professional, welcoming manner.
A genuine commitment to providing high-quality customer service.
Good organisation, attention to detail and the ability to manage routine tasks accurately.
The ability to learn new systems, processes and procedures with training and support.
