Bicycle Network Purpose

We believe that physical activity is vital for a happy and healthy life so we make it easier for everyone to ride a bike everyday.

Core Responsibilities

1. Changing active travel behaviour in high-intensity schools

The primary responsibility of this role is working with a group of Victorian schools to get more students riding to school. This involves:

• Recruiting schools
• Diagnosing schools’ active status travel using our behaviour change framework
• Implementing programs to increase the benefits of active travel and overcome the barriers
• Measuring the impact of those programs.

2. Assisting with the overall Ride2School Program

As this role involves working with the Ride2School Team, they’ll be other great things we’d love the team member to do to help the other team members working with high-intensity schools, the low-intensity program and the program outside Victoria.

3. Anything else that comes up

At our core, Bicycle Network is an organisation that prides itself on helping each other and being adaptable. Other things will come up and the day we hear the words, ‘that’s not on my job description’ is the day we know the train is off the track.

Performance Measures

The success of the Ride2School Program Coordinator is measured by:

• The number of high-intensity schools they manage
• The manner in which the program is implemented in the high-intensity schools
• The increase in active travel at the high-intensity schools they manage
• The overall results of the Ride2School team.
