Job description

Are you a passionate believer that our young people are our future?

Do you want to inspire young people to think outside the box when it comes to the world of work?

Do you love working with a diverse range of stakeholders?

Are you passionate about supporting our youth to be the best version of themselves?

Beacon Foundation is looking for facilitators to run our Short Courses in schools across NSW on a casual basis.

Beacon Foundation’s (“Beacon”) mission is to support young people to have the aspiration, motivation and ability to determine their working future.  We do this by bringing together business, industry, schools and the wider community to build real-life education experiences (generally in the form of programs) across Australia and online. These experiences involve students connecting directly with industry to prepare them for the world of work.

We are a values driven organisation who believes that every young person deserves the dignity and self-respect that comes from meaningful employment. If you share this vision and possess a talent for connecting with diverse individuals and organisations, then we have an exciting opportunity for you. 

About the role:

Beacon Short Courses are half or full day work readiness programs, delivered in schools or at a host business. These courses are designed to boost employability skills and build real-life connections to the world of work for young people in Years 7-12.

As a Beacon facilitator, you’ll run programs in schools to help students develop confidence and explore their own ideas about their future - equipping them with inspiration, knowledge and skills that will help with the transition from education to the workforce.

  • Well-developed judgment in relation to problem-solving, time management and prioritisation to ensure competing priorities are managed and objectives achieved

  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to build and maintain collaborative and productive relationships
  • Previous experience in facilitation, coaching or similar roles will be highly regarded
  • A satisfactory National Police Check, Working with Children Check and current Drivers Licence is required. 

Why Beacon:

  • We do work with a greater purpose
  • We are a tight-knit and supportive team
  • We offer a comprehensive Employee Assistance Program
