Brisbane, Australia Education Full time

About the School
The Brisbane Youth Education and Training Centre is a Department of Education school, operating inside the Brisbane Youth Detention Centre at Wacol. Established in 2001, it is a purpose-built, state-of-the-art school which reflects the Queensland Government's vision of supporting and promoting the wellbeing and capacity of young people in detention. Our staff are passionate about helping improve the knowledge, skills and abilities of our students, many of whom have had disrupted or negative schooling experiences. We seek to educate the whole person by providing opportunities for growth, development and learning, which will prepare young people for a balanced, worthwhile future.
To maintain the engagement of students across the year and address learning gaps, funding has been approved for education delivery over 48 weeks of the year. This aligns Queensland with youth detention schools in other states and territories across Australia. The employment entitlements for staff will not change, providing an exciting opportunity for flexible work agreements. Through negotiation with the Principal, the successful applicant will determine whether a regular or alternative school holiday model is accessed.
About the Role
The Deputy Principal reports to the Head of Campus and is responsible for coordinating educational timetabling, workforce scheduling, and managing the day to day operations of the school. The Deputy Principal plays an integral role in developing close partnerships with key stakeholders and community organisations to continue strengthening educational practices at the detention centre.
The successful applicant will have strong curriculum knowledge, well-developed interpersonal skills and the ability to work strategically as an instructional leader. The successful applicant will be committed to implementing an improvement agenda underpinned by the school's vision statement of 'unlocking potential, transforming lives.'
As the Deputy Principal, you will have responsibility for (but not limited to) the following:

- Leading school operations
- Managing workforce rostering
- Setting high standards for student and staff performance.
- Forming partnerships with partner and other government agencies, community groups, industry and businesses.
