Your role will focus on coordinating the delivery of our programs and fostering a nurturing environment where students can thrive. This position is centred on building meaningful relationships with students and their families. You will take the time to understand each student's unique needs and aspirations, actively engaging with them to ensure they are fully enjoying and benefiting from their experience at Contour. By checking in regularly, addressing questions and concerns, and celebrating successes, you will play a crucial role in helping students make the most of our programs.
This isn't just any admin role; it's a highly specialised service that requires someone with a genuine desire to support students and their families with professionalism and care. Your passion for student success and commitment to providing a positive experience will make you an invaluable member of our team. We strive to remain Australia's Leading Medical Preparation Program, and as a Student Success Specialist you will be a vital component of our vision, embodying our commitment to support and excellence during this crucial phase of a student's education.
Who Are WeContour MedPrep is a leading medical preparation program that currently specialises in comprehensive UCAT and Interview preparation, aiming to empower and support the next generation of healthcare professionals in the highly competitive yet often daunting process of gaining entry into medical school.
Our UCAT course aligns itself with the objective of the UCAT, rigorously training students in the mental abilities and skills of a successful doctor or dentist, through engaging group lessons, comprehensive and 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 2023 students to an industry-leading median UCAT score of 3040+, one student even setting the world record score of 3590!
Over 3,000 students and 100 staff have joined our tutoring services since our founding in 2020. This year, we have successfully expanded our in-person Live Testing Centres to Brisbane and Sydney, with 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 (from 24/7 personal support to on-demand resources) and our commitment to helping them achieve their goals. We were listed as the 17th Fastest Growing Startup by the Australian Financial Review in 2022, and we're continuing to multiply year over year! It's our vision to reshape education, starting with tutoring.
The RoleAt Contour, we understand that the journey to medical and dental school often involves confusion and complexity. The long and tedious journey can often be incredibly lonely, and hard to navigate through if going alone for the first time.
That's where you come in! As a Student Success Specialist, you will play a pivotal role in guiding students through this taxing and often confusing process, providing them the support they need as a student of Contour MedPrep. Your mission will be to help students make the most of their experience with Contour MedPrep, ensuring our programs are delivered effectively to maximise students' success while navigating our UCAT, Medical Admissions and Interview courses.
You will develop strong relationships with students and their parents along their journey, through 1-on-1 consultations, call/text/email support and administrative assistance, serving as the primary contact for students and parents. This role is not simply a typical admin role, but it is a highly specialised service which demands a motivation to see prospective medical and dental students grow and thrive in their unique and individual paths to achieve their goals. You will need to possess adaptability, interpersonal skills, and a sense of empathy towards students and parents, understanding both their aspirations and anxieties.
The role is multi-faceted and highly collaborative, as it requires teamwork and coordination with other members of the Sales team, as well as liaising with the VCE Sales team, and the UCAT Tutoring team amongst others. Collaboration is instrumental in creating a cohesive and supportive pathway for our students, thereby maintaining the high standards of guidance and support that Contour MedPrep prides itself on.
The Student Success Specialist role allows for a flexible balance between in-person and remote work. While the initial training will be conducted in person, you will have the option to work more or less in-person based on your preferences and the needs of the team, enabling you to effectively manage both your professional and personal commitments. You will rely on your solid knowledge base, unwavering commitment, and excellent communication skills to excel in this role. This is an opportunity to make a profound impact on the lives of aspiring medical and dental students, guiding them toward their dreams with clarity and confidence.
