About Us
There is a three year achievement gap between Australia’s best and worst performing school students. Worse, this gap is largely defined by socioeconomic, geographic and ethnic lines. Teach For Australia’s vision is of an Australia, where all children, regardless of background, attain an excellent education.
In 2014, Teach For Australia (TFA) was provided a four-year grant to establish Teach To Lead. The goal of this program is to develop a pipeline of exceptional future leaders – specifically for disadvantaged schools. The first cohort of 16 participants (called ‘Fellows’) commenced Teach To Lead in April 2016. The program is supported by the Sidney Myer Fund, Gandel Philanthropy and the Victorian Government Department of Education and Training.
The Australian Government Department of Education is a major supporter of the Teach For Australia initiative.
About the Position
The Project Officer will be responsible for supporting the program’s delivery and evaluation in a range of ways. The candidate will manage Teach To Lead’s attraction and selection of candidates and communications with participating schools, as well as supporting the Program Director with selected aspects of participants’ learning and evaluation.
About You
The ideal candidate will have demonstrated skills in project management, building relationships and communicating effectively, in addition to a Bachelor’s degree and at least 3 years’ work experience. Ideally you will have experience in recruitment and/or selection for a highly selective program, scholarship or organisation. See the Position Description for further details.
