ABOUT US

Camberwell Grammar School is an independent Anglican day school for boys from Pre-Preparatory to Year 12. We aim to give every student in our care the very best possible education in order to prepare them for life beyond school. We are a learning community which encourages staff, students, past students and parents to involve themselves fully in all aspects of school life and to identify themselves with its values; Learning, Respect, Integrity, Courage and Optimism. We are proud of the sense of community that characterises our school.

Our School campus is located in the leafy inner East suburb of Canterbury, on land originally inhabited by the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, and blends period architecture with exciting contemporary design and state-of-the-art facilities.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a dynamic and passionate Careers Practitioner who will manage school-wide career development programs and activities and provide guidance and support to students in their career exploration and decision making.  You will also coordinate careers education initiatives which provide students and families with careers and general higher education advice to inform decision-making around post-school destinations.  You will play a critical role in helping students identify their interests, strengths, and aspirations and navigate career options. 

This is a rewarding role where you have the opportunity to make a significant impact.
