- Key Senior Leadership role
- Education Sector
Established in 2016, the Specialised Assistance School for Youth (SASY) was the first school of its type in South Australia registered as a Special Assistance School as articulated in the Australia Education Act that provides an alternative educational setting for students.
SASY caters for students in Years 8-12 whose needs are better met by learning structures that may not be available in mainstream schools. As a non-government school, SASY follows the national curriculum and SACE, operating within the regulatory framework of the state and Australian Government legislation and is registered by the Education Standards Board (SA).
The SASY Board and staff are committed to engaging with disengaged young people through a tailored, holistic, and person centric focus on their education and wellbeing. SASY now seeks to appoint a highly credible Head of Student Outcomes whose role will be to ensure the management and daily operations of SASY’s hub teams as they support improved levels of wellbeing and learning for students at SASY.
Reporting to the Chief Executive, this key leadership role works collaboratively as a member of the Senior Leadership team and the broader staff group to lead staff’s wellbeing, motivation, and performance to deliver positive outcomes for SASY’s young people, while also overseeing the site’s curriculum governance.
You will have a passion and respect for the values of SASY and serving the community, bring highly developed team building, management, and mentoring skills, and demonstrated senior leadership experience in schools. You will have significant experience working with vulnerable young people, as well as a thorough knowledge of the theories relating to the impact of adverse childhood experiences and the ways services such as health and education can support a young person to thrive. The successful candidate will be a registered Teacher and will require a Responding to Abuse and Neglect (RAN-EC) certification and Working with Children Check.
