The Opportunity

In this role, you will lead the design and delivery of accessible digital and physical learning environments, ensuring all students can engage equitably through best practice accessibility standards (WCAG) and Universal Design for Learning principles. You will assess, procure and implement assistive technologies, deliver training to students and staff, and partner closely with Student Services, IT, C-Salt and academic teams to embed inclusive design across systems and platforms. This is your opportunity to drive meaningful, system-wide change and ensure our learning environments are accessible, innovative and student-centred.

- build capability across students and staff in the effective use of accessibility tools, inclusive technologies, and universal design practices that support academic participation and success; and
- lead the coordination, governance, and continuous improvement of accessibility-related technologies and resources, ensuring alignment with legislation, standards, and emerging best practice.

About you:
You are a confident and empathetic communicator with experience delivering effective assistive technology solutions for people with disability. You use strong critical thinking and data insights to inform recommendations, purchasing and service design. Comfortable working independently or collaboratively, you prioritise effectively and deliver high-quality outcomes.
