Road Safety Education Ltd - a leading Not for Profit Organisation
Flexible 0.6 FTE position (averages 23 hours per week)
Are you a quick-thinking problem solver keen to make a difference?
Do you love building relationships with a range of stakeholders, and growing business?
Do you enjoy having one eye on the detail and one on the big picture?
If so, Australia’s largest road safety educator needs you!
About us
Road Safety Education Limited (RSE) is committed to saving lives through reducing road trauma. As the pre-eminent road safety educator for youth in Australia and New Zealand, our flagship RYDA Program is typically delivered to 50,000 senior high school students from more than 600 schools each year.
About the role
RSE seeks to appoint a Program Coordinator for Brisbane and Southeast Queensland.
This position, which joins an additional part time provides a unique opportunity to make a positive difference in our community. RSE and our partners are committed to improving road safety and the Program Coordinator will play a major role in delivering and growing the company’s operations, working alongside our partners and engaging with local authorities, schools and volunteers in a crucial area of education.
This position will be responsible for coordinating and delivering RYDA programs to schools in metropolitan Brisbane and Southeast Queensland, and working closely with our Rotary partners to support their delivery of RYDA throughout regional Queensland.
The role will suit applicants who are good all-rounders with a desire for flexible employment which may involve some travel throughout Queensland.
This varied role involves a mix of working from home, working at schools and RYDA venues, and meetings with stakeholders throughout Brisbane and Queensland.
Your stakeholders include schools, Rotary Clubs and other volunteer organisations, and the facilitators who deliver RYDA, in order to achieve RSE objectives. This includes coordinating and assessing facilitators; coordinating venues and other program resources; pre- and post-workshop communications with schools; and assisting with the evaluation of RYDA effectiveness and impact.
This is nominally a 0.6FTE position, but with peaks of activity throughout the school calendar. This is a job share position, with each role between 0.4 and 0.6 FTE.
