Regional Principal North Metro Region

**NORTH METRO REGION**

**FULL-TIME 3 YEAR FIXED-TERM CONTRACT**

**AS SOON AS POSSIBLE**

**About the Opportunity**

We are looking for a Regional Principal with relevant experience to join a large dynamic team of educators and support staff at Alta-1 College.

**Here’s some information about us**:
At Alta-1 we recognise that adverse life experiences can impact a student’s sense of self-worth, motivation and capacity for learning, making engagement in a mainstream school setting difficult.

As an independent, co-educational CARE (Curriculum and Reengagement in Education) School, Alta-1 is a Christian organisation that works with students from years 7-12. We provide students with wraparound support to guide them on a journey of recovery through a trauma-informed approach. This approach helps students acknowledge, confront, and resolve barriers that have impacted their ability to reach their full potential.

We believe in fostering a highly relational environment where students, teachers and staff develop meaningful connections based on trust, respect and empathy. These relationships serve as the foundation for effective teaching and learning, allowing us to better understand and support the unique needs and aspirations of each student.

**Now let’s talk about you**:
If successful, you will be responsible for the delivery of the best possible duty of care for each student in light of the values and objectives of Alta-1 College.

**You are a relational leader.**

You’re a relational leader skilled in managing people, fostering resilient teams, and establishing clear structures. Your collaborative nature and in-depth knowledge of current educational practices for care schools enable you to navigate a multi-site complex organisation with unwavering confidence.

**You are a culture builder.**

Your talent for cultivating a positive culture and cohesive teams is invaluable as you mentor, lead, and develop capable and compassionate teams across all Regional campuses and programs. Their mission is to provide the best trauma-informed environment for students’ transformative journeys, and your support, guidance, and encouragement will be instrumental in achieving this goal.

**You are flexible and terrific at handling complexities.**

You deftly handle multiple complexities simultaneously, prioritising strong connections with students, families, staff, church partners, external agencies, and other stakeholders, all working towards the students’ well-being. Your flexibility and ability to discern what’s most important and impactful amidst the noise are key assets in this role.

**You are an educational leader.**

Leading people and systems are one of your key strengths. With a wealth of data to monitor, capture, and assess for each student, you have a clear understanding of requirements, the ability to engage the right individuals for administrative roles, and optimise data processes with a clear sense of purpose. You also excel in developing strategies to promote continuous improvement in the teaching and learning program across the school, adding an invaluable dimension to your role.

**Why you should choose us**:
We offer attractive salary packaging options and professional development all within a fun and friendly Christian working environment.

At Alta-1, our staff believe that each student is created with unique strengths and abilities and work collaboratively to see these flourish. Each day provides multiple opportunities for you to make positive contributions into the lives and futures of these students.
