• Believes in the value of libraries as inclusive, empowering community spaces
• Brings a calm, capable presence to large teams and busy environments
• Knows how to lead through both clarity and compassion

• Thinks strategically while staying close to the day-to-day

You'll also have:

• Eligibility for ALIA Associate Membership (recognised library qualification)
