We invest in potential to inspire excellence and transform lives.

  • Have solid experience administrative / operational experience
  • Have a natural can-do approach to work
  • Enjoy working collaboratively within a small team
  • Can comfortably manage the variety this role offers, balancing different activities, and handling interruptions and competing priorities with ease
