Loreto College Ballarat, one of regional Victoria's leading Catholic girls' schools, invites applications for the part-time position of Risk & Compliance Officer.

Founded in 1875 by Mother Gonzaga Barry, Loreto College Ballarat was the first Loreto school in Australia and continues in the tradition of Mary Ward. With an enrolment of approximately 990 students, the College is committed to delivering a contemporary Catholic education that liberates, empowers and motivates young women to use their individual gifts with confidence, creativity and generosity. The values of Freedom, Justice, Sincerity, Verity and Felicity underpin all aspects of College life.

The Risk & Compliance Officer is an integral member of the Education Support team, supporting the College's commitment to providing a safe, compliant and well-governed environment for students, staff and the wider College community. Reporting to the Business Manager, this role supports the College to identify, manage and monitor risk, meet compliance obligations and promote a positive culture of risk awareness, safety and continuous improvement. Child safety is the overriding priority of the role and underpins all areas of responsibility.

You will bring a genuine commitment to fostering a culture of risk awareness, compliance and safety, together with a willingness to support the College's Catholic ethos, mission and values.
