Job details

About us:

Queensland Pathways State College (QPSC) delivers a flexible and future-focused senior education program for young people aged 15 to 18 who have experienced barriers in mainstream schooling.

Through personalised learning, strong relationships and targeted support, students re-engage with education, achieve their Queensland Certificate of Education and transition to training, university or employment.

Our strengths-based and trauma-informed approach creates safe, inclusive learning environments where students are known and supported to succeed.

Your opportunity:

As Head of Campus - Metropolitan South, you will provide strategic and operational leadership across the Coorparoo and Mount Gravatt campuses. You will lead QPSC's shared educational vision, strengthen teaching and learning, and ensure both campuses provide consistent, high-quality support for students.

Working with the Executive Leadership Team, staff and community partners, you will build a positive culture grounded in Respect, Belief and Unity and align educational, wellbeing and operational priorities to improve student engagement, achievement and pathways.

Key aspects of the role include:

• Maintaining a visible leadership presence and overseeing effective day-to-day operations across both campuses.
• Translating QPSC's strategic direction into clear campus priorities, informed by student achievement, attendance, engagement and wellbeing data.
• Setting high expectations and strengthening staff practice through coaching, collaboration and professional learning.
• Ensuring students receive coordinated educational and wellbeing support to achieve their QCE and transition successfully beyond school.
• Connecting families, schools, agencies, training providers, industry and community organisations around student success.
• Overseeing workforce, budgets, facilities, risk and compliance across both sites.
• Contributing to whole-school leadership and improvement across QPSC's nine campuses, leading a nominated portfolio area from our strategic priorities.
