The Colman Education Foundation is seeking an amazing person to join the Our Place team, as a Community Facilitator at Mooroopna.

At Our Place, we believe that supporting local schools to be the hub of a whole community is one of the best ways to enable long lasting change in communities experiencing disadvantage. We enable this by working in partnership with local services, government and the local community to increase collaboration and to support all children and their families to succeed in life.
Community Facilitators are at the core of the Our Place approach, working on-site with the local community, partners and stakeholders to find ways of better connecting services to community need.

In return, you will have the opportunity to demonstrate different ways of working in communities, to have the security of working on long-term time horizons, purchasing an additional 4-6 weeks of annual leave and to be part of a state-wide group of equally passionate, curious and committed colleagues.
