Full Job Description

At MacKillop Education, we believe every young person deserves the chance to thrive—especially those who are vulnerable, at risk, or disengaged from school.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Reporting to the Access Ed and Thrive Team leader, you’ll champion education as a powerful tool for equity, opportunity and hope:

Empower young people living in residential care to succeed through tailored education support, teaching and advocacy
Improve learning outcomes for students in care through hands-on teaching, advocacy, and supporting care teams.
