Port Augusta Technical College: Shaping the Future of Technical Education in South Australia

Port Augusta Technical College will be a visionary institution that aims to revolutionize technical education in South Australia. The State Government is investing in Technical Colleges that will set the standard for excellence in their design, learning environment and delivery of skills-based training for school-enrolled students.

Co-located with Port Augusta Secondary School and will open in mid-2025, Port Augusta Technical College will be a part time attendance model for secondary school students within the region to access whilst maintaining their enrolment in their current school.

Port Augusta Technical College will have accommodation facilities on site and offer four industry training programs for careers in civil, resources and infrastructure, health and social support, hospitality and tourism, and multi-trades (for careers such as plumbers, builders, electricians, and boilermakers).

We are searching for an overnight accommodation supervisor to join our dynamic team and make a positive impact on our students. The hours are likely to vary between 15.25 to 37.5 hours per week.
