Saltwater School Co‑ordinator –  Sydney Harbour 

Outdoor Education | Full-Time | Sydney, NSW

Your education experience belongs outside the classroom.

Have you spent time in schools — as a before/after school care coordinator, teaching assistant, or school administrator — and found yourself dreaming of a role where the office has a harbour view and the meeting rooms smell like salt air? This might be exactly what you've been looking for.

We're looking for an Activity Centre Coordinator to be the heartbeat of our Saltwater School, a heritage-listed waterfront centre right on Sydney Harbour, and part of NSW's largest outdoor education organisation.

About the Role

This is a coordinator role, not a teaching role — which means your value lies in what you already know: how schools operate, how to communicate with teachers and group leaders, and how to keep things running smoothly under pressure.

You'll be the main point of contact for schools and visiting groups, managing bookings, building strong client relationships, and making sure every program runs like clockwork. You'll work closely with educators and casual activity staff to help design experiences that are purposeful and curriculum-connected — supporting real learning outcomes in the natural environment.

You'll Thrive Here If You Have:

• A background in OSH/OOSH care, school administration, education support, or as a teaching or learning assistant
• Strong organisational skills and a natural ability to juggle competing priorities
• Confidence communicating with teachers, principals, and group leaders
• A genuine love of the outdoors and enthusiasm for connecting young people with nature
• An understanding of how schools plan and book excursions and programs (from the inside!)

A teaching qualification is not required — your transferable skills and education sector experience are what matter most here.

Why You'll Love It

• Work right on Sydney Harbour — sea views, salt air, and nothing like a regular office
• Be part of a small, close-knit team where your contribution genuinely counts
• Help deliver school holiday programs, curriculum-aligned fieldwork, and outdoor education experiences that make a real difference
• Enjoy the support and stability of NSW's largest outdoor education organisation
• Lunch breaks on the beach. Yes, really.
