If you're nodding enthusiastically, we want to hear from you!

We're seeking a dynamic Innovation & Professional Learning Coordinator to join our forward-thinking K-12 college community. This isn't your typical education role - you'll be the catalyst for transformation, the bridge between today's teaching and tomorrow's possibilities be it with technology, pedagogy transformation or innovative ideas.

What You'll Be Doing

Be Our Innovation Champion

• Lead the charge in implementing game-changing teaching practices across our entire campus.
• Curate the coolest AI tools and digital resources (ethically and sustainably).
• Transform data into insights that help our teachers teach better in this day and age and the future.
• Design assessment guidelines that embrace AI while keeping academic integrity intact.
• Create future focussed classroom engagement strategies that improve involvement, equity and excellence across the college.

Inspire & Empower Our Teaching Heroes

• Facilitate weekly sessions that spark "aha!" moments.

Build Community & Culture

• Foster a culture where taking risks and trying new things is celebrated.
• Connect with education networks and not just stay ahead of the curve but own that space.
• Host learning events that have other schools asking "How do they do it?"
• Build our student skill set into ethical users of technology.

Engage Our Wider Community

• Run workshops that get parents excited about AI (not scared of it!).
• Create podcasts, articles, and resources that are read and discussed.
• Build a reputation as the school that "gets it" when it comes to technology and our students.

You're Perfect for This Role If You:

Must-Haves:

• Hold current NSW teacher registration (NESA).
• Have the right to work in Australia.
• Possess relevant tertiary qualifications.
• Can turn complex tech concepts into "Oh, I get it now!" moments.
• Understand the importance of innovating at every opportunity to make life easier, not harder.
• Have an active open mind and understand that learning comes from everywhere.
• Manifesting our BDC values of mutual respect, inclusivity, integrity, service, courage, justice and generosity of spirit.

Bonus Points For:

• Experience with AI tools in an educational setting.
• A track record of creating professional learning that people enjoyed.
• A spirited and visionary teacher who is viewed as a natural leader.
• A growth mindset that's contagious.

What's In It For You?

• Make Real Impact: See your ideas transform teaching and learning across an entire college.
• Stay Cutting-Edge: Work with the latest educational technology and AI tools.
• Professional Growth: Build expertise in one of education's fastest-growing fields.
• Supportive Environment: Join a leadership team that backs innovation.
• Work-Life Balance: While some flexibility is needed, we respect your time.
• Teaching Component: Keep your classroom connection with 0.6 teaching load.

Ready to Join Our Mission?

We're not looking for someone who just talks about innovation - we want someone who lives and breathes it. Someone who sees AI as a teaching assistant, not a replacement. Someone who believes every teacher can be empowered to do amazing things with the right information, support and tools.

If you're ready to be part of something bigger than yourself, to shape how education adapts to our rapidly changing world, and to have serious fun while doing meaningful work, we'd love to meet you.
