• Evaluate how activities are going and make improvements based on student feedback and audience needs.
• Provide a student-focused service while living UNSW Values in Action and keeping health and safety top of mind.

About You:

• You’ve got a relevant tertiary qualification or equivalent experience through education, training, or work.
• You know your way around Engineering and high school education (including the NESA STEM curriculum). Experience teaching STEM is a plus.
