About the Position
As the Language and Learning Advisor, you will be responsible for devising effective and scalable solutions that enable the team to reach students in need, preferably as an early intervention, and beyond a one-on-one delivery model.

About You
To be successful, you will require:
- Experience in the design and delivery of learning support programs and initiatives to engender confidence in students from diverse backgrounds to achieve learning outcomes, including training in areas such as language, literacy, and numeracy skills.
- A degree in a relevant field and a Certificate IV in TESOL qualification and demonstrated experience in developing academic literacies.
- Experience in designing educational resources and materials using a range of technologies for scalable delivery in an online-first environment.
- Excellent communication skills with demonstrated ability to engage and collaborate with professional and academic staff and students from diverse educational, language and cultural backgrounds.
- Proven ability to lead and manage improvement projects, informed by stakeholder and client feedback, preferably in an educational context.
- Experience and/or contemporary knowledge of the issues and trends affecting academic literacy and language services and the needs of academic staff and students.
- Demonstrated technical proficiency in software application skills including Microsoft Office software and interactive content design software, such as H5P.
- Ability to demonstrate efficient work practices to stay organised and on top of busy workflows.
- The ability to work autonomously and with influence, making a significant organisational contribution to the success of programs or services.
- Extensive experience in teaching English as a second language in a classroom setting.
