Program Coordinator

Students Explore Australia Pty Ltd is on a mission to connect young people with nature, as a means of improving their wellbeing. We predominantly achieve this through delivering school camps for primary and high schools across Australia, working with Aboriginal Health Organisations and communities, and putting on programs for kids with special needs.

Students Explore Australia falls between the tourism, education and community support industries, and operates in most states and territories across Australia.

Our core values are:

- We strive for good vibes every day
- We are hungry to achieve our personal bests
- We are highly organised and disciplined
- We are adaptable to change
- We are optimists, with can-do attitudes

We are a for-purpose business that takes pride in our engaging work culture and positive working environment. We emphasise personal growth and development in our staff to complement our fast-growing business.

Role Description:

In this role, you will primarily be responsible for overseeing camps allocated to you, within our 'All-abilities' camps category. This means leading a team of Administrators pre-program and leading a team of Program Facilitators during the program. Our All-abilities camp programs are located mainly in South Australia, Western Australia, Queensland, Northern Territory, Central Australia, and Tasmania. The role can be summed up into 3 main components:

1. Overseeing the coordination of each All-abilities Camp program that you are assigned, using our proven step-by-step methodology.
2. Physically attending and leading camp programs in locations across South Australia and interstate.
3. Being a point of contact for guardians who have kids involved in our programs.

You will be in charge of coordinating a single camp approximately once every 4 weeks (on average). Hence, once per month you should be okay with being away from home for 3 or 4 nights to go to places like Uluru, Kangaroo Island, Rottnest Island and much more

The Ideal Candidate will be:

- Highly organised, and have the ability to build rapport quickly with kids and guardians.
- Have a strong passion for the outdoors and positive wellbeing of young people.
- Physically fit and capable.
- Knowledgeable or passionate about adventure-based activities (bonuses for qualified outdoor educators).
- Have core values that are aligned with ours.
- A strong team leader.
- A decent understanding of administration and Google suite of programs.
- Multiple years of experience in an educational style role (this could be classroom teaching, working with kids with special needs, outdoor education or something else perhaps).

Essential Items:

- Working with Children's Check or Teacher's Registration.
- Senior First Aid Certificate.
- Make a difference in the lives of young people by inspiring them to fall in love with nature.
- Be part of an incredible company culture that offers (fully funded) overseas company retreats annually in South East Asia for 1 week, team meditation sessions each Monday and Friday, and a company culture that cares about wellbeing, staff recognition, and work-life balance.
- Influence the direction of our company by providing meaningful input, ultimately allowing our team to connect more young people with nature

The role is a full-time contract, with an opportunity to extend. Our office is located in Everard Park, South Australia 5035.

Remuneration: Between $70k – $80K FTE depending on experience level, plus all the perks that our full-time staff get (as listed on our careers page + a whole lot more).
