- Get paid to do what you love: highly competitive rates recognising skill and experience
- Fits around your life: training sessions and Saturday matches, ideal alongside university or other work
- We invest in you: a full-day paid coach induction, ongoing professional learning, and support to complete your First Aid qualification (HLTAID011) if you don't already hold it
- Build skills employers value: leadership, communication, planning and teamwork, with support to translate your coaching into career-ready skills
- A program with real standing: one of Australia's leading boys' school sport programs, with experienced coaches and a supportive Sport Department behind you
What you'll do
- Plan and deliver engaging training sessions and match-day experiences for teams from Years 7–12
- Create positive, inclusive team environments where every student feels challenged, supported and valued
- Build professional relationships with students, families and fellow coaches
- Help with team selection, attendance and weekly match reports
- Uphold Xavier's high standards of professionalism and child safety
What we're looking for
- Playing, coaching or officiating experience in your sport (club, school, community or representative level)
- Level 1 or 2 coaching accreditation viewed favourably (not essential)
- Professionalism, reliability and excellent communication
- A genuine commitment to the growth and wellbeing of young people
- Willingness to obtain a Working with Children Check (Employee) and complete the College's child safety requirements
Coaching at Xavier is an educational role: our approach focuses on helping every student develop confidence, competence and connection through positive sporting experiences. You'll be introduced to this approach at induction.
Xavier College is a Catholic school in the Jesuit tradition, committed to providing a child-safe environment. All appointments are subject to a Working with Children Check and the College's child safety and compliance requirements.
