About Teach For Australia

Our vision is an Australia where education gives every child greater choice for their future. The mission is to grow a community of leaders committed to equity for children and young people, by recruiting and developing exceptional people to teach and lead across Australian schools.

About the Position

This role is responsible for supporting the communications and administration of the Future Leaders Program (FLP), as well as supporting delivery of the program, including selection of participants, logistical coordination of program delivery and events.

The FLP is a 3 year program pilot funded by the Australian Department of Education. It tests a new approach to strengthening the school leadership pipeline in RRR schools in Australia. The program focuses on equipping high achieving teachers with the skills, knowledge and experience to support the growth of the pipeline of ready leaders to transition to higher leadership roles in communities that need them the most.
