• Demonstrated high level interpersonal and communication skills, with a proven ability to nurture collaborative relationships across all levels of interaction.

You will be experienced in conducting interviews with relation to misconduct, with a demonstrable interest in finding defensible and ethically sound outcomes for both simple and complex cases.
