About Queensland Pathways State College:

Queensland Pathways State College is a senior secondary school supporting young people aged 15 to 18 years (minimum Year 10), who have found it challenging to thrive in mainstream schooling. Many of our students have experienced complex life circumstances, such as trauma, mental health challenges, or housing instability, that have interrupted their learning journey.

At QPSC, we believe in every student's potential. Our college is built on the values of belief, unity, and respect, creating a culture where students feel safe, supported, and empowered to succeed. We foster a strong sense of belonging and connection, ensuring that every learner is known, valued, and heard.

We deliver a 12-month senior transitions program focused on literacy, numeracy, workplace readiness, and wellbeing. Our goal is to guide every student toward achieving a Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) and transitioning successfully into further education, training, or employment. We work in close partnership with families, community organisations, and support services to provide wraparound care and personalised pathways.

About the Role:

Advocate, provide counselling and individual support, recommendations and advice to students, teachers and parents in relation to educational, behavioural, career development, post-schooling pathways, mental health and family issues;
