Lead the quality assurance, impact and expansion of the Hands on Learning(HoL) program in schools in Tasmania. For23 years, this innovative education program has been proven to significantly increase wellbeing, attendance, foster social and emotional learning, and improve academic and vocational pathways. In this exciting role, your passion for supporting young people will drive HoL's growth across the State. You'll play a key role in ensuring that the young people who could benefit most have the opportunity to access a quality HoL program at their school.
Proudly part of the Save the Children Australia Group and global movement, we're here to make sure that everyone understands their rights. So that children and young people have their rights met and thrive, in all their diversity.
We champion the children, young people and families we work with. We are inspired by the curiosity and creativity of children and motivated by the love of those who care for them.
With the child's voice at the centre, we provide quality services to children and their caregivers, advocating with them so that children develop, learn, and are connected, safe and confident. Our people are proudly local, reflective of the communities we serve - in every state and territory, and across regions, remote areas and capital cities.
In this part-time, fixed term role (30.4 hours per week, through to end of December 2023, with potential for extension/permanency), you'll drive the implementation support and growth of the HoL program. The in-school program uses a variety of practical projects to engage and connect students to their education and with their school and community. You'll liaise directly with schools, and you'll act as mentor to the HoL artisan-teachers who support students to complete building, landscaping, public art, cafe and team building activities. As part of our Schools Education Engagement team, you'll report to our National Partnerships Manager.
Location for the position is flexible, though we would prefer a base in Launceston, as our work is spread across Tasmania (see this map for a list of our current partner schools). Your work will be reasonably evenly split between your home office base and visiting current and prospective partner schools.
You're a self-starter, with a 'can do' attitude and a first-hand understanding of how schools work. You're comfortable and confident presenting in front of groups, and you'll relish the challenge of new business development, building the capacity of the team and boosting HoL's profile. Your dynamic and engaging personality will see you easily build relationships with school leadership teams, and your warmth and integrity will inspire talented HoL artisans-teachers to achieve ambitious outcomes for the young people they support.
We are a learning organisation that invests in the development and wellbeing of our people. Our workforce is 680+ people strong, and proudly diverse, whether in race, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, sexuality, cultures and beliefs.
We are creative, connected and accountable, bringing energy, guts and ideas to all we do to champion children in Australia and partner with families, communities and partners to bring about change.
Our people work from both home and office, with important moments held in-person to foster belonging and support professional development. Our leave provisions include personal, ceremonial and family violence leave as well as the ability to purchase additional leave. Remuneration is benchmarked and we offer full non-profit salary packaging benefits.
We'd love to hear from you. Submit your cover letter and CV, addressing the key selection criteria above and describing your suitability for the role (the cover letter should be no more than 2 pages in total), by clicking the 'Apply Now' button.
