Teaching - Vocational (Education & Training)
About Newington College:
Newington College is a school bustling with opportunity and rigour.
We aim to teach students to think critically, stretch their learning and approach life with curiosity, kindness and open-mindedness, and that also applies to everyone who works here – from the teachers and grounds staff to the finance and admissions teams.
Founded in 1863 by the Uniting Church, the College has more than 2000 students across four vibrant campuses from our Early Learning Centre through to Year 12.
In 2026, Newington will enter an exciting new phase as the College transitions to co-education starting with Kindergarten and Year 5, becoming fully co-educational by 2033.
Our students will enter a world that will require them to walk and work alongside all genders collaboratively, respectfully and empathetically as colleagues, employers, employees, partners, parents and friends.
We want to ensure the College remains a vibrant, contemporary institution, in step with the society it is part of.
About the Position:
At Newington, we are preparing students who will be ready to make a positive contribution to society and the future.
With regards to work, the future offers the potential for endless creative, value-focused roles, but it also confronts us with the disappearance of whole industries.
Navigating the opportunities and challenges of life beyond school is a reality for all students and that is where our Careers Team comes in!
At Newington, we are cognisant of our rapidly changing world which is why we are expanding our Careers Education program.
Reporting to the Head of Careers, the Stage 5 Careers Advisor will play a significant role in this next exciting phase of careers education at Newington, co-creating and delivering a multifaceted program for Stage 5 students.
Our Stage 5 Careers Advisor will partner with staff, students, parents, carers, tertiary sectors and workplaces, to craft meaningful learning opportunities and experiences, and provide advice that is future focused, timely and relevant, to meet the needs of our students, today and beyond.
