• Unique Indigenous education program in progressive for-purpose organisation
• Work closely with program participants
• Based in Crawley, Perth
  

At Aurora, our goal is for every Indigenous student to access the right educational opportunities so they realise their academic potential. For some, that’s completing Year 12 and for others, that’s a PhD from Harvard. We’re aiming to shift the paradigm about what is possible for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples; starting with students in Year 8 with our High School Program, all the way through to post-graduate studies at international universities with our scholarships program.

The Role

Our High School Program works with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students from Year 8 and until Year 13. We provide academic enrichment through our school holiday camps, wrap-around support and ongoing contact and engagement between camps. The program focuses not just on the academic side of things but also cultural identity, and places Indigenous ways of learning at its core.

This role plays a critical part in the wraparound, academic support that our students receive. In this role, you will track how our students are doing, organise additional supports (such as tutoring, computers, etc.) and maintain our Client Relationship Management System (CRM) which is essential for our data collection and analysis, which in turn, will help determine the right supports and interventions for our students.

About You

• You are passionate about the role that education can play in achieving social justice and enhanced life outcomes
• You genuinely enjoy collaborating with your team members
• You are confident to liaise with a range of external stakeholders including our students and their families, teachers, and providers of support services
• You bring strong administrative, organisational and analytical skills
• You are great with technology
• You are a doer – you like to get things done!

Our programs have achieved unparalleled success and this is an opportunity for you to be part of that narrative of excellence. We offer a values-driven, team environment, where we are each committed to the purpose of our organisation. You will be well-supported with regular professional development activities and will be welcomed into a collegiate team. In addition to a competitive salary, you will have immediate access to tax-reducing salary packaging.

To be Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander is a genuine occupational requirement for this role.
