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 coaching and supporting the professional development of participants in Teach for Australia’s Queensland Future Leaders Program (FLP), and contributes to achieving TFA’s strategy, including the organisation’s commitment to Reconciliation.
With student outcomes persistently below minimum standards and communities facing multiple compounding factors of disadvantage, Regional, Rural and Remote schools (RRR), in particular, need leadership support. The FLP is a 1 year program funded by the Queensland Department of Education. The program focuses on equipping middle leaders with the skills, knowledge and experience to support the pipeline of ready leaders to transition to higher leadership roles in communities that need them the most.
Exclusively online, leadership coaching is a key pillar of the program, providing a critical space for participants to reflect, be challenged, supported and to experience transformation.
Key Selection Criteria:
-
Queensland-based with a strong track record of working in low socioeconomic Queensland schools in a leadership role for 5+ years.
-
Prior experience as a coach in education with a strong ability to coach others - including building trust, listening, questioning, and giving feedback.
-
Experience working in rural/remote communities.
-
Emotionally intelligent, able to work effectively and collaboratively with diverse individuals across different geographies and contexts.
-
Invigorated by the prospect of using technology to support coaching, leadership development and scale.
-
Able to work autonomously and manage time efficiently.
