As the Project Coordinator, you will be responsible for planning, coordinating, and implementing assigned projects under the direction of the Project Lead. You will be expected to work independently or as part of a team to ensure projects are effectively initiated, with ongoing oversight of quality control, scope, and scheduling to ensure alignment with project goals.

More specifically this project is in response to the increasing number of international students enrolling in School of Education programs, particularly within Early Childhood. This role has been established to explore initiatives that enhance support for students navigating the complexities of English language proficiency, cultural expectations, and professional placement readiness.

The International Student Support and Placement Readiness Coordinator will work collaboratively with academic staff, practicum supervisors, mentor teachers, and professional experience teams to develop and devise programs and support mechanisms, that facilitate and ensure international students are well-prepared for success in school and early childhood settings. This may include identifying and responding to language or cultural challenges, providing individualised and group-based support, and developing strategies to build student confidence and capability before and during placements.

This role is critical to understanding and maintaining the quality and integrity of our programs, upholding the expectations of accrediting bodies, and ensuring equitable outcomes for all students. At the end of the term the incumbent will be expected to provide recommendations to the school's leadership group, as to potential solutions and best practice in the space of International Student Placement Readiness.
