ABOUT THE POSITION

We are seeking a dynamic individual to take full ownership of the netball program, nurturing talent and fostering a strong culture within the College and broader community.

This is a Permanent Part-time (0.70 FTE) position commencing in January 2026, with the potential to increase to full-time for candidates with teaching qualifications. 

As the Director of Netball, you will provide both strategic leadership and hands-on management of the College’s Netball program.

ABOUT YOU 

We are seeking a proven leader with experience in establishing and growing successful netball programs, ideally within a school or youth environment. You will have a deep understanding of player development pathways, from beginner to elite levels, and a passion for creating opportunities for students to excel. Your leadership skills will be matched by your ability to manage the day-to-day operations of a large netball program, including scheduling, logistics, and resource management.

You will be an excellent communicator, able to engage with students, parents, staff, and external stakeholders, building positive relationships and fostering collaboration. You will also demonstrate a strong commitment to student wellbeing, integrating the netball program with the College’s broader initiatives for mental and physical health.
