A hands-on leadership role where you’re on the ground supporting trainers and students

The opportunity to build a local team, culture and community presence in Alice Springs

A well-supported role within a large, established RTO with systems already in place

The Organisation

STEPS is a purpose‑driven organisation dedicated to creating brighter futures for individuals and communities across Australia. For us, education is more than a service, it’s a catalyst for change. We take pride in delivering high‑quality training and community programs that build confidence, capability and real opportunities for the people we support.

We believe in a human‑centred approach where every learner feels valued, respected and safe. Our teams work closely with local communities, referral partners and industry to ensure our programs truly meet people where they are and empower them to move forward with independence and confidence.

As an employer of choice, we’re committed to developing our people just as much as our participants. We foster a collaborative, inclusive and supportive culture where your ideas are welcomed, your strengths are recognised and your growth is encouraged. When you join us, you join a team that genuinely cares about our participants, our communities, and each other.

The Opportunity

This is a hands-on Training Manager role based in Alice Springs, leading a small, close‑knit team of approximately 5 staff (and growing), including trainers, admin and support staff.

This role is about being present, approachable and involved in day-to-day operations of the Alice Springs team.
