The University is seeking to appoint its first Investigation Officer to assist with the process of investigating and resolving student complaints, appeals and disciplinary matters at the University. The person will be expected to provide expert technical advice and support for formal and informal casework including investigations, hearings and appeals related to student complaints, appeals and disciplinary matters.
