vor 1 Tag
Full time
Mid-High 100s + annual bonus + FBT exempt
BACKGROUND
Our Futures Institute is a not-for-profit organisation providing online evidence-based drug, alcohol, vaping, tobacco, and mental health education courses to high school students.
The programs were developed by researchers at The University of Sydney, utilising social influence and harm minimisation approaches.
Recent funding from the federal government health department will enable all high schools in Australia to access our new vaping prevention program, and we need an amazing COO/Program Director to lead this incredibly important initiative.
Did you know that 1 in 6 high school students have vaped recently and 12-year-olds who have vaped are 29 times more likely to go on to try cigarette smoking?
Youth vaping is on the rise, creating a new generation of nicotine addicts.
We need to stop this in its tracks, and you could play a critical role in addressing a major health issue for young people in Australia.
Reporting to the CEO, the COO/Program Director will be based at the Sydney Knowledge Hub, the University of Sydney's co-working space in Camperdown.
You will build, lead, and motivate a team of ten to twelve staff, ensuring the organisation continues to advance its mission of preventing harms to young Australians from substance use and mental health disorders.
The COO/Program Director will be entrepreneurial and innovative, ideally with experience in managing start-up enterprises.
