Make an impact. Shape student futures. Join a collaborative squad-based team.
Are you an organised, proactive professional with experience coordinating high-volume clinical placements, ideally within Nursing or other complex clinical disciplines?
Do you thrive in a fast-paced operational environment where you balance competing priorities, build strong relationships with healthcare partners, and support students to successfully complete their professional placements?
We're looking for a WIL Senior Officer to join our innovative STEM College WIL Team.
This is a professional (non-academic) role suited to someone with demonstrated experience in clinical placement administration or Work Integrated Learning operations. You'll apply your expertise in clinical placement coordination to manage complex placement activity, collaborate with internal and external stakeholders, and contribute to the delivery of high-quality Work Integrated Learning experiences that prepare students for professional practice.
In this role, you’ll help shape meaningful placement experiences for students by sourcing, coordinating, and allocating Work Integrated Learning (WIL) opportunities across STEM disciplines. You’ll be a key contact for students, academics, and industry partners — helping to ensure placement processes run smoothly from start to finish.
You’ll join a collaborative squad that supports specific Disciplines within the College. Our squads are continually refining their ways of working, so you’ll have the chance to contribute ideas, embrace new approaches, and help drive improvements that benefit the whole team.
Your day-to-day will include:
coordinating stakeholders and complex placement logistics
building and maintaining productive relationships with academics and industry partners to ensure the successful coordination and delivery of placements
responding to student enquiries and providing high-quality administrative support
verifying mandatory preplacement requirements
maintaining accurate student and placement records in the InPlace CRM system
Supporting placement invoicing and financial administration to ensure timely and accurate processing
Identifying opportunities to improve WIL systems, processes and service delivery
This is a dynamic role where your initiative, sound judgement, attention to detail and the ability to build effective relationships will make a real difference to the student experience.
✔ You’ll work in a supportive, improvement focused team
✔ You’ll have autonomy and variety in a role where no two days are the same
✔ You’ll help shape real world learning experiences for students
✔ You’ll be part of a modern, squad‑based model that encourages collaboration and innovation
What you’ll bring
Strong communication and relationship building skills
High-quality administrative experience (WIL experience is a plus)
Ability to work collaboratively within a squad-based team
Strong organisational skills and the ability to prioritise under pressure
Attention to detail, initiative, and flexibility
Confidence learning and using digital systems
