THE PROSPECT

Netball Queensland is looking for an experienced and people-focused Personal Development and Wellbeing Lead to join the Queensland Firebirds’ high-performance team.

This role supports the holistic development of Firebirds athletes, with a particular focus on their lives outside the daily training and competition environment. You will help athletes navigate key transition points throughout and beyond their sporting careers, build a broader sense of identity, and establish meaningful personal development, education and career goals.

The Queensland Firebirds have a dedicated sports psychologist within the high-performance team. This is not a sports psychology role. Instead, the Personal Development and Wellbeing Lead will work collaboratively with the sports psychologist, Head Coach and broader high-performance team to support athletes’ individual and collective wellbeing and development needs.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Reporting to the Queensland Firebirds Head Coach, you will build trusted relationships with athletes and provide practical, individualised support across career development, education, personal development,



relocation and transition planning.

Your responsibilities will include:

- supporting athletes transitioning into the club, relocating to Queensland, retiring from elite sport or moving to another club in Australia or internationally
- conducting one-on-one sessions to understand athletes’ individual needs, aspirations and development goals
- supporting athletes to establish career and education goals and develop Individual Life Plans
- connecting athletes with relevant education, learning and professional development opportunities
- designing, coordinating and facilitating workshops that build the skills required to thrive as a holistic athlete
- developing professional mentoring opportunities that connect Firebirds athletes with relevant industry experts
- developing an athlete mentoring program connecting Firebirds athletes with emerging athletes in the Firebirds Futures program
- coordinating external service providers where additional transition or development support is required
