Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Education Full time

Welcome to Ipswich State High School:
We pride ourselves on being able to deliver a high-quality education across academic, vocational, cultural and sporting domains.

We focus on our students' personal strengths and using our Zones of Behaviour we enable them to excel in their chosen domain by focussing on staying in the Green Zone and understanding how the Zones can be applied in real-life.

Our students are also prepared for a life after school through an individualised approach to their learning, including a major focus on their social and emotional well-being.

This, as well as their acquired skill-set, ensures they are not only ready to work, but work ready.

Your role:

As the International Student homestay Coordinator your responsibilities include:

  • Recruit suitable homestay providers to host international students and secure the Principal's approval for all suitable homestay providers.
  • Ensure homestay providers are compliant with Blue Card Services criteria and relevant DE International policies and procedures.
  • Manage and coordinate the placement of international students with suitable approved homestay providers in accordance with DE International's homestay policies and procedures as well as State and Commonwealth legislative requirements.
  • Participate in all training offered by the school and DE International.
  • Contribute to the development and coordination of a homestay register to record and monitor homestay providers and student placement data.
  • Liaise with parents and homestay providers and advocate for international students in terms of welfare issues particularly those relating to the homestay environment.
  • Coordinate and manage payments to homestay providers.
  • Develop an orientation program and deliver training to approved homestay providers, and coordinate information sharing sessions with homestay providers to ensure consistency of care and service delivery.
  • Contribute to the development and coordination of an orientation program for international students, including informing students of the location and accessibility to consumer services and community facilities and ensure integration into the school environment and community.
  • Monitor the ongoing welfare, adjustment, behaviour and health of international students in homestay, ensuring appropriate intervention is provided, escalation to supervisors occurs as required and detailed records are maintained.
  • Identify and facilitate access to support services, including counselling, to assist with the adjustment to living and studying in Queensland, and resolving issues which could impede successful completion of study.
  • Develop and maintain effective communication processes with international students and homestay providers.
  • Maintain an emergency homestay network in case of an emergency.
