You'll gain invaluable hands-on experience in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and play a key part in implementing forward-thinking People & Culture initiatives while working closely with our teams across multiple locations.
This isn't just any People & Culture role. As Australia's fastest-growing, and highest-scoring, medical preparation program, our enrolments continue to triple annually, and thousands of aspiring medical students come to us looking for support. Often, these students are daunted and overwhelmed by the complexity of getting into medical school and are eager to hear how exactly we can help.
This is where you come in as a vital member in our vision to reshape medical preparation. Your role will support the experience of all of our team members to be themselves and bring their best to their roles, every day.
Who Are We We empower aspiring medical students through our comprehensive UCAT, Interview and Applications programs, supporting them throughout the highly competitive journey of gaining admission into medical school.
Our UCAT course focuses on developing the specific mental abilities of a successful doctor or dentist, through engaging group lessons, abundant resources, live mock exams, 24/7 student support and so much more! We are extremely committed to innovative and results-driven medical preparation, with industry-first initiatives such as our Live UCAT Testing Centre and student accountability system propelling our students to an industry-leading median UCAT score of 3040+, dozens of 3300+ scores, and one student even setting the world record score of 3590!
Over 3500+ students and 100+ staff have joined Contour since our founding in 2020. In 2024, we expanded our in-person UCAT Testing Centres from Melbourne to Brisbane and Sydney, receiving over 1000 bookings and hundreds of new enrolments from all over Australia! Our growth is a testament to our dedication to providing ALL our students and parents with a high-quality tutoring experience and our commitment to helping them achieve their goals.
