• Prepare for and provide professional and realistic roleplay in our candidates' oral assessments as either a "client" or another appropriate party

• Attend roleplay training and briefing sessions when necessary.
• Report directly to the Assessments Office.
  
  Experience in assessment style role play acting would be desirable.

• Willing to work flexibly and provide professional responsive roleplay in person and online as required.
