Full Job Description

Our mission is clear: to ensure equity and access to education for all young people, no matter their circumstances. We're looking for someone experienced in supporting young people living in out-of-home care to engage in learning, pathways or community programs.

Using a trauma-informed approach, you’ll help create safe, supportive learning environments that build confidence, wellbeing and educational pathways.

Working within a passionate Education and Engagement team, you’ll deliver flexible, individualised support to help young people achieve their goals - whether returning to school, accessing vocational pathways, or engaging with community programs.

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 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.
Develop and implement Individual Education Plans (IEPs) with clear goals and meaningful strategies for every student.
Conduct academic and wellbeing assessments to understand the unique needs of each learner.
