Student Wellbeing Coordinator, Under 18's

Job description

Your new company

Are you passionate about supporting young people and looking for a meaningful entry-level opportunity with genuine career growth?

We are seeking an Under 18 Coordinator to join a leading education provider in a highly rewarding role supporting international students as they transition to study and life in Australia. This is a fantastic temp-to-permanent opportunity for someone who enjoys building relationships, thrives in a people-focused environment and wants to make a real difference every day.

Working within a supportive and collaborative student wellbeing team, you'll be the key point of contact for students under 18, their families and external stakeholders, helping ensure a safe, welcoming and positive student experience from pre-arrival through to graduation.

Your new role

This is a highly visible and rewarding role where you'll work directly with young people from around the world, helping them navigate their educational journey and settle into life in Australia. No two days are the same — one minute you could be supporting a student, the next you're coordinating an event, liaising with parents overseas or working with internal stakeholders to deliver an outstanding student experience.

Day-to-day, you’ll:

  • Be the go-to person for a cohort of international students under 18, supporting them through one of the biggest and most exciting transitions of their lives.
  • Build genuine relationships with students, parents, guardians and accommodation providers, becoming a trusted source of advice and support.
  • Help create unforgettable first impressions by coordinating welcome events, orientations, wellbeing initiatives and student engagement activities.
  • Support students both inside and outside the classroom, helping them navigate life in Australia and settle into a new environment.
  • Manage important welfare, accommodation and compliance processes while ensuring every student feels supported and cared for.
  • Handle enquiries with empathy, professionalism and a solutions-focused mindset, making a real difference in the student experience.
  • Work closely with a passionate and collaborative Student Wellbeing team who genuinely care about positive outcomes.
  • Strike the perfect balance between people interaction and administration, with no two days looking the same.
  • Play a key role in creating a safe, welcoming and supportive environment where young people can thrive academically, socially and personally.

What you'll need to succeed

  • Experience in administration, customer service, student services, youth support, education or a similar environment
  • A genuine passion for working with and supporting young people
  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills
  • Excellent organisation and attention to detail
  • Ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and database systems
  • A Working With Children Check (or ability to obtain one)

What you'll get in return

  • $40.00–$44.50 per hour + Super | Approx. $81K Permanent Salary + Super
  • Immediate start available - temp-to-permanent opportunity
  • High-touch, people-focused role with real purpose
  • Excellent training and professional development
  • Career pathway within a respected education organisation
  • Supportive and collaborative team culture
  • Work directly with young people and make a meaningful impact every day
If you're growth-minded, enjoy helping others succeed and are looking to kick-start or develop your career within student wellbeing and support services, we'd love to hear from you.
