Nestled on the banks of Birrarung, Collingwood Children’s Farm was founded in 1979 to support and engage local children experiencing adversity. A much loved non-profit organisation and registered charity, the Farm’s reason for being remains true to its roots: community engagement, education and nature connection with green space and animals.

You will be an excellent communicator with a collaborative approach, able to build effective relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders, both internal and external. You will have a proactive approach to program development, and be able to identify future educational needs, and plan, develop and modify programs to meet those needs.
It is expected that the successful applicant will be able to demonstrate the following:
Child-safe organisation: CCF has a zero tolerance for child abuse and is committed to the provision of a child-safe organisation. All CCF staff must undergo a Police Check and Working with Children Check prior to commencement.
