Mary Help of Christians Catholic College  is seeking an experienced and dedicated Pastoral Leader.

These are full-time, permanent teaching roles with a fixed-term appointment to the Curriculum Leader position concluding in 2030.

The Curriculum Leader supports the mission of Mary Help of Christians Catholic College through leadership of the learning and teaching program by ensuring that appropriate pedagogies are developed and implemented at all levels. The successful applicant will demonstrate leadership in three dimensions: leadership of teaching and learning, human leadership and strategic leadership. 

The Pastoral Leader is responsible for a designated year level cohort within the broader structure of the college.  The role holder supports the mission of the College through the leadership and implementation of pastoral care and wellbeing programs and processes for the designated year level. In addition to fulfilling their teaching role, the Pastoral Leader plays a crucial role in establishing routines, expectations, and wellbeing supports, as well as working with other middle leaders, teachers and families to ensure all students in the designated year level are supported to thrive at school.

Guided by Catholic values, you’ll demonstrate authentic leadership that nurtures faith, compassion and community. Your ability to model integrity, foster relationships and create an inclusive, supportive environment will be key to the ongoing success of both students and staff.

To thrive in this role, you will be a registered teacher with the Queensland College of Teachers and bring extensive classroom experience in the Arts, together with a deep understanding of the Australian Curriculum and QCAA requirements. You’ll pair that professional credibility with a proven ability to lead and mentor others, build collaborative teams and translate data into meaningful improvement. Most importantly, you’ll lead with integrity, model our Catholic ethos in practice, and be motivated by helping both students and staff flourish.

Our commitment to these standards requires that we conduct working with children checks and background referencing for all staff. The organisation is fully committed to child safety and has a zero tolerance to abuse of children or adults-at-risk.
