**Why work with us**:
Every child and young person deserves a great education.

We have a strategy that aims to unlock every child’s potential now and into the future, one that in partnership with learners, students, parents and the wider South Australian community will build a world-leading public education system. One that is equitable and prioritises learning and wellbeing.

**About the Role**:
As part of the Workforce Management Directorate within the People and Culture Division, the Manager, Employment Programs and Attraction is responsible for the strategic direction, leadership and management of the department’s Employment Programs function.

The department operates a large workforce across its schools and preschools, nearly 30 000 people. This workforce has high volumes of recruitment with over 500 ongoing teacher roles advertised and more than 5000 temporary teachers offered contracts each year. Additionally, around 800 leadership roles and 600 ancillary roles are advertised every year. Australian schools are facing unprecedented teacher supply and retention challenges. Declining numbers of new graduate teachers, increasing demand from a growing student population and an ageing teacher and leadership workforce are all contributing to teacher shortages.

This role leads a dedicated specialist team that is responsible for attracting and engaging with pre-service and early career teachers, through engagement with universities, professional bodies, and actively developing and managing talent pools. The team is responsible for promoting the department’s employee value proposition and to ensure awareness of the various programs available to support entry into the workforce and in early careers, in either country or metropolitan sites. The team works closely with Human Resources Business Partners to engage with sites to ensure the best possible outcomes are achieved.

Key to success is a contemporary, collaborative and human centred approach to stakeholder engagement and providing expert guidance around workforce opportunities, issues and obligations.
