Risk & Compliance Officer

Bring your risk and compliance expertise to a role with real purpose 

At Warakirri College, we support young people aged 15-22 who have disengaged from mainstream education – often due to anxiety, depression or social disadvantage.  Our students are capable, curious and resilient.  With the right support, they thrive.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a detail-oriented and proactive Risk and Compliance Officer to join our team. This is an operational support role, reporting to the Strategic Operations Manager. The successful candidate will help embed sound risk and compliance practices across our multi-campus organisation — supporting everything from risk registers and policy management to Child Safe Standards and WHS.

This is an on-site based role with travel required across all College campuses (Redfern, Campbelltown, Fairfield, Blacktown, Picton) (no remote option).

What You’ll Be Doing 

• Maintain and update the College’s risk register, and support risk identification and monitoring across campuses
• Coordinate risk reviews and internal audits, and assist in administering the College’s Folio compliance platform
• Support the review, development and version control of College policies in line with legislative requirements
• Track the policy review cycle and flag implications of regulatory changes
• Support implementation and monitoring of the College’s Child Safe Framework, including training, records and reporting
• Assist with lockdown/evacuation drill coordination, first aid audits, WHS Committee participation, and site walkarounds
• Prepare reports, briefings and correspondence…
