Director of Education Operations

Flinders Christian Community College (FCCC) is a forward-thinking, inclusive, coeducational, faith-based school from K-12. Located in Melbourne’s South-East and set across three beautiful campuses, FCCC is the epitome of a community school: supportive, immersive and close-knit. FCCC has a pro-active and unified approach to inspiring and challenging students so that they may develop in character, understanding, and lifelong learning, preparing them for purposeful lives.

Reporting to the Executive Principal (EP), the DoEO has cross-campus responsibility for the effective operation of all education offerings in alignment with the College’s vision, mission and strategic plan. Where required, the Director deputises for the Executive Principal and reports to the Board on key strategic initiatives.

Working in tandem alongside each Head of Campus, the DoEO operationalises the smooth functioning of the College’s education programs, champions the School Improvement Framework, represents the EP on the Risk and Compliance and other committees, and ensures all initiatives align with the College’s Christ-centred values. With six middle leaders reporting directly into this senior executive role, the DoEO is responsible for the design, implementation, and evaluation of uniform metrics, systems, policies and frameworks that promote efficiencies and best practice.
