A quick note before you apply: This role requires previous experience working within a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) environment. As this experience is essential, we encourage you to apply only if you meet this requirement.

The role is full-time and can be based anywhere in Australia, with remote working arrangements available, or work from our Bondi Beach (Sydney) or Bowen Hills (Brisbane) offices.

With more than 210,000 members across 316 Surf Life Saving Clubs, we represent one of Australia's largest volunteer movements and have been helping to keep Australian beaches safe for more than 100 years.

Behind every rescue, patrol and prevention activity is a dedicated network of staff, volunteers, supporters and donors who make our work possible.

We're looking for an organised, proactive Learning Operations & Systems Coordinator to join our Learning and Development team. This is an opportunity to use your Registered Training Organisation (RTO) administration, systems and coordination skills to support the learning that underpins our members’ vital roles.

Your work will range from maintaining learner records and processing certification to supporting our Learning Management System (LMS), coordinating stakeholder consultation and keeping project actions and timelines on track.

What you will do:

• Coordinate learner enquiries, enrolments, certification and student record administration.

• Coordinate the administration, testing and ongoing improvement of learning systems, including our Learning Management System (LMS).
• Maintain accurate learning records, procedures and operational documentation.
• Produce operational reports and support data quality.
• Coordinate learning projects, timelines, actions and stakeholder consultation.
• Support committees and working groups through agendas, minutes, actions and follow-up.
• Work with ICT, system vendors, subject matter experts and other stakeholders to resolve issues and improve processes.
• Identify practical opportunities to improve learning administration, systems and workflows.

You will bring:

• Experience in RTO administration, with an understanding of learner records, certification and compliance requirements.
• Strong operational administration and coordination experience.
• Confidence working with digital systems, including Microsoft 365, databases and reporting tools.
