Role Description/Criteria

About us

Since 2012, we have led that way in radically inclusive education, by providing a safe, inclusive, and flexible learning environment for young people who have experienced barriers to accessing mainstream education. Our team is committed to supporting young people in re-engaging with learning through neuroaffirming, strengths based and trauma-informed approaches that meet their individual needs.

We prioritise building honest and authentic relationships with young people, their families, and communities, fostering a culture that values, supports, and celebrates the dignity and uniqueness of each person.

We offer a full-time, multi-year secondary education program designed to meet the diverse learning needs of young people. Through flexible and innovative teaching methods, we provide a safe, supportive and holistic learning experience that encourages young people to set learning goals, identify and develop their strengths, explore future pathways, and transition into adulthood, employment, further education, and community participation.

Our campuses offer tailored programs that integrate wellbeing and education, ensuring young people receive the individualised support they need to thrive. We work closely with families, community organisations, and support services to provide wraparound support that addresses both educational and personal development needs.

Our Young People

Young people come from diverse backgrounds and often face a significant and complex range of educational, social, developmental, environmental, psychological, health, legal barriers to learning which require unique interventions. Our approach is grounded in the Operation By Principles framework, which combines education with an understanding of trauma-informed practices.

We recognise that each young person’s journey is unique. Our staff are committed to providing a safe, respectful, and empowering learning environment where young people can develop confidence, reconnect with education, and work towards their goals.
