RTO Administration: Correctly perform student enrolments, maintain accurate records of course progress, assist workplace coaches, and provide input into improving RTO resources.
Stakeholder Engagement: Actively represent ALPA with community leaders, local government, schools, and business operators when working in remote settings.
Culture & Safety: Be a champion of the ALPA values and demonstrate a strict commitment to work health and safety.

Licensing: An unrestricted NT C class driver's license (or the ability to quickly obtain one).
Cultural Alignment: Cultural awareness, respect, and a genuine commitment to working effectively with First Nations communities.
Desirable Criteria: Experience working in the Northern Territory or within a remote community, industry experience in retail/community services, and a willingness to upskill across all qualifications offered by ALPA's RTO.
