SportsReady Education is the education arm of AFL SportsReady (AFR SR) and a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), specialising in traineeship education delivery predominantly in Business and Sport and Recreation qualifications.

AFL SR is a national organisation with a head office located in Melbourne and regional offices located in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Hobart, and Perth.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Based out of our head office in Abbotsford, Melbourne, we are seeking to appoint an experienced and confident manager to lead up our education programs and services.

As such, the role would suit someone who can balance operating at a strategic as well as operational level, who possesses a strong understanding of the compliance and administration requirements inherent in running an RTO.

The successful candidate will oversee and manage areas of our RTO operations, including a small team of operational managers spanning education design and quality, contracts and operations, and administration.

Although not an essential requirement, experience in the management or delivery of Business and Sport and Recreation qualifications would be highly regarded.

Key areas of responsibility are:

• Leadership of RTO business generation programs and operations
• Leadership of general RTO operations
• Leadership and oversight of education quality
