Health Educator – Tamworth

Inspire the next generation of regional health workers. Are you a nurse or health professional who enjoys teaching, mentoring and making a lasting difference in your community? Start 2027 with a role that combines clinical knowledge, community impact and real flexibility.

The Opportunity: Based in Tamworth, UNE Partnerships are seeking a dedicated and dynamic Health Educator to join our growing VET in Schools (EVET) team. In this impactful role, you'll deliver training nationally recognised health qualifications to students across the region, including:

• HLT33115 Certificate III in Health Services Assistance (Assistance in Nursing)
• HLT33021 Certificate III in Allied Health Assistance

Your delivery will blend theory with hands-on practice through weekly in-person classroom sessions, online webinars and term-based regional roadshows. This is a genuinely unique opportunity to use your health expertise to shape the next generation of healthcare workers while enjoying the flexibility of a hybrid work model.

What you’ll do:

• Deliver engaging health training using a mix of face-to-face and online learning modalities.
• Assess student work and provide clear, meaningful feedback to achieve student competency.
• Mentor and support students to stay on track, overcome barriers and complete their studies.
• Support and empower students as they step out of the classroom and into their critical work placements.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with schools, host employers and community organisations across the region.

About you: You'll bring health industry expertise and a genuine passion for education and community impact. You may come from nursing, with a background working in general practice, aged care, primary health or another related setting — what matters most is your ability to connect with learners and bring your professional experience into the classroom.

Trainer Credentials: You have completed or are actively working towards completing your TAE40122 (or equivalent higher Adult/Vocational Education qualification). Successful candidates must provide proof of completion by February 2027.

• Advanced First Aid & CPR, current at time of commencement in February 2027.
• Working With Children Check (WWCC).

Highly valued:
