About You
You are a proactive individual who enjoys a busy day. You have the ability to work autonomously and have previous experience (or knowledge) in award and EA interpretation. Experience in the education sector is an advantage but not a must - and if you enjoy mastering new IT systems and finding efficiencies in processes, then this is the job for you!
Candidates must be passionate and enthusiastic with the capacity and experience to succeed, have strong interpersonal skills and be able to communicate with community members across stakeholder groups.
The School
Billanook College is an independent, co-educational Early Learning to Year 12 school situated in the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne. The School has an enrolment of approx 950 students, supported by 160 staff.
Our Staff are instrumental in creating and maintaining our strong, positive culture. We know that staff perform at their best when they are encouraged by keen students within an environment of excellent behaviour. Students’ behaviour depends on many factors: a solid sense of self-worth; good positive peer-group friendships and connections; belonging at school and at home, and an awareness of their ability to succeed – particularly outside the classroom.
A school becomes a ‘good school’ only when it has great staff. Great Staff "make it matter" and "make the student matter".
Billanook is committed to employing Staff who are aligned with the College’s mission, vision, values and strategic direction and we work hard to ensure our recruitment and selection process is equitable, transparent, consistent and merit based.
We are a school driven by best practice and innovation. Being part of such a strong team has its rewards, not only in the quality of education provided to our students, but also in collegiate support, and personal and professional learning.
