You will have a strong knowledge of tertiary, at a state, national and international level. You will work in close contact with Sub-School and Wellbeing teams, and our extended community to ensure our students' exit with a sound knowledge of tertiary pathways, and the world of work, and have valuable networks. In addition, you will hold the responsibility for the oversight of VET, Work Experience and Distance Education and be required to balance competing demands. Previous experience in each will be advantageous.
You will contribute to a positive, values-led, inclusive, collaborative environment that fosters student and staff growth and development.

The ordinary hours of attendance for this education support class employee will be a minimum of 7.6 hours daily, with the days and start/finish time to be negotiated based on the needs of the school.
Key Careers and Pathways activities fall within school holiday breaks, thus this position attracts a leave-purchase allowance.

You will work with and be guided by the needs of our students, Sub-School and Wellbeing teams in your role. Our school community is very proactive in this area and the Careers and Pathways Practitioner and Leader is at the forefront of this connection.
Management of a small number of staff to achieve the expected outcomes is a key responsibility of this role. You will be responsible for the mentoring and management of administration staff aligned to the role, and supporting teaching staff in the delivery of Careers and Pathways curriculum and action plans.
