Science Education Leader, QLD

BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA

COMMERCIAL AU

PERMANENT

If you're a high school science teacher, the name Stile might ring a bell.

We're looking for a passionate educator to join the team in Brisbane.

About Stile

We have a vision for more interesting, rigorous and inclusive science education for Australian students. Imagine a world where mundane tasks like lesson planning are taken care of, and teachers are offered plenty of support to be full-time classroom superheroes Stile is Australia's only complete, end-to-end program for Years 7-10 science. It offers meticulously crafted lesson-by-lesson teaching plans, printable revision resources, videos, questions, simulations and practical activities. It's what we wish we had when we were teaching. Built upon our world-class teaching and learning platform, Stile is updated weekly with the latest in science and technology.

At our foundation, we encourage kids to think critically about the world around them and make evidence-based decisions for themselves and their community. For more information, have a read of our 'why'.

Over 40% of Year 7-10 students in Australia use Stile, and we expect this number to continue to grow in the coming years. That's quite some reach, and it's a responsibility we take very seriously.

The Stile team is made up of 80+ incredible teachers, scientists, artists and engineers who genuinely care about, and are working towards, improving scientific literacy amongst our young citizens.

That's where you come in.

About the role

This position is perfect for an educator with school leadership experience who is looking to expand their impact beyond the classroom and enhance the education of tens of thousands of students. It combines working from home with visiting schools, making it ideal for anyone looking for a more flexible working environment. (That's right—you can grab a snack without waiting for a bell to sound). Read more about Teacher Life at Stile here.

This is a sales role, but it's a sales role like no other. It's fun, light and centred around a genuine mission to better science education. If you don't have any sales experience, we'll teach you everything you need to know.

How you'll spend your time

• Communicating Stile's value to school leaders
  
  Your experience as a leader within a school environment provides you with valuable insight into what heads of department and senior school leadership need and want. You'll use this insight to win over school leaders, helping them to recognise how Stile can support them in meeting their strategic goals.
• Visiting schools and discussing best practice science teaching with like-minded educators
  
  You'll work with teachers to help them implement evidence-based teaching strategies with Stile. You'll also apply your classroom experience and pedagogical expertise to consult with faculty and school leaders. Mostly, you'll be working with schools in Brisbane, but you may occasionally find yourself booking regional trips too.
• Building community
  
  Building relationships with those in the local STEM community is key to being successful in this role. For this reason, you'll be in regular attendance at local events and conferences. You'll also be responsible for hosting networking events, including leadership dinners, where members of the science education community can build connections with one another.
• Continuing to hone your own skills and knowledge

We're life-long learners at Stile, so we're always looking to improve our practice. You'll find yourself reading up on the latest negotiation strategies, or learning about the latest trends in education technology. You can also expect to spend time peer-reviewing work with your colleagues, ensuring we're always delivering the best possible service.

A bit more about you

• Ideally, you have experience as both a secondary school science teacher and in a school leadership role as deputy principal, Head of Curriculum, Innovation, Pedagogy or similar.
• Sales experience, especially in the edu-industry, is a bonus but not essential.
• You're knowledgeable about science education and you're across the latest trends in education technology and pedagogy.
• You are a driver and self-starter who is both likeable and empathetic. You're a strong communicator who can build positive relationships and really put yourself in someone else's shoes, understanding their problems and working to help fix them.
• You're eager to learn. Super eager. You soak up feedback, incorporate it, and are constantly driven to be better.
• You're a proactive, strategic hard worker who gets stuff done. You're motivated to work independently but love contributing in a team environment.

At Stile, we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace. If you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't perfectly align with all of the points above, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or another role.

What's in it for you

• Colleagues worth working with. You'll join an amazing 70-strong team of teachers, scientists, artists, and engineers. We hold ourselves and each other to a high standard and love what we do.
• Working on something that really matters. In partnership with teachers, we're coaching students to become problem solvers and critical thinkers. We believe that with a strong command of science, tomorrow's citizens and leaders are set up to sort the misinformation from the facts.
• Support always. Stile is its people, and it's important we are creating an environment where you're supported, happy and able to do your best work. We have strong management and feedback frameworks and a great benefits program.
• Flexibility. We expect you to work hard, but you'll have flexible hours and be the master of your own schedule. There's no rigid timetable to adhere to.
• Your own professional development. We're lifelong learners here at Stile. In addition to teaching you everything you need to know to succeed in this role, we provide a generous PD allowance.

Hours and location

This is a full-time, permanent role based remotely in Brisbane, Australia. When you're not on the road, you will work from home.

Work hours are flexible but generally follow a 9-5 schedule. Usually, school visits and PD sessions run before or after school or anywhere in between.

You'll regularly be driving to schools, so you'll need your own car (don't worry, we cover your expenses). Semi-regular travel will be required within QLD to visit schools, and interstate for Stile events and training.
