Looking for a rewarding career? Join the MITS team and support our students to pursue their aspirations in Melbourne.
Become part of a team creating a home environment in Melbourne for Indigenous people from remote and regional communities.

• Senior Boarding Coordinator: with sound boarding experience looking to take on responsibility for student travel administration, medical supervision, planning of weekend activities. In this role the person will be responsible for the operations of the House when the Manager is off duty.
To be successful in these roles the person will have:
