Participation Coordinator

The South Metropolitan Regional Education Office is seeking to establish a pool of Participation Coordinators for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during 2026 and up to the end of October 2027. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.

Appointments may be offered for vacancies that become available at various locations across the South Metropolitan Education Region.

Eight regional offices and seven local education offices are located across the State. Regional offices and local education offices are staffed as determined by the Regional Executive Director, in accordance with local context and needs. All officers appointed to regional offices and local education offices are responsible for supporting schools in the regions by promoting system initiatives and providing support and quality assurance to enhance the outcomes of schooling.

The Role

The Participation Coordinator provides case coordination, transition brokerage and face-to-face outreach support to secondary school-aged students who have become early school leavers, or who are most at risk of disengaging from education.

Participation Coordinators assess individual students’ needs and develop individual pathway plans to ensure our most vulnerable students are supported to transition into appropriate education, training or employment pathways.

As a Participation Coordinator, you will leverage your knowledge, experience and network of youth, education, training and employment services across the region to explore suitable career pathways…
