We are seeking a Night Supervisor to join our team, working rostered night shifts in our student residences. This vital role ensures our students feel safe, supported, and part of a positive community.

You will be the first point of contact for residents needing pastoral care or well-being support during the night.  While this isn’t a traditional security role, you’ll lead on health, safety, and security, making sure protocols are followed, emergencies are handled, and first aid is provided when needed.

When not responding to incidents or patrolling, you’ll be responsible for completing general administrative and coordination tasks.

For more information about this role, please refer to the full position description.

Remuneration: $55,300 - $69,600 (pro rata for part time hours), depending on skills and experience.



Training: We provide full training, including first aid, mental health event management, and basic security.
