Allegra School Coffs Harbour - Coffs Coast Education and Training Organisation - Coffs Harbour NSW

Allegra School Coffs Harbour is an independent, non-denominational Special Assistance School providing Stage 5 education for students in Years 9 and 10.

We are deliberately small. With approximately 84 students and classes capped at 14, our size allows us to know young people well, respond when something is not working and shape learning around the individual.

Our mission is to be at the forefront of inclusive, individualised education, and our values of Acceptance, Connection and Collaboration are intended to be visible in how we work with students, families and one another.

In 2026, Allegra School was ranked #1 nationally in the Best Workplaces micro category. We are relational and collaborative, but we also value accountability, sound judgement, reliability and follow-through.

About the role





In a small school, compliance needs to be more than correct on paper. It needs to be practical, current and usable.

The Policy, Compliance & Assurance Officer strengthens the systems that sit behind safe and accountable school operations.

The portfolio includes:

- policy management and implementation;
- compliance assurance;
- workplace health and safety preparedness;
- crisis and emergency preparedness;
- cybersecurity and privacy;
- information governance;
- business continuity;
- organisational risk support; and
- registration, audit and assurance preparedness.

The role reports directly to the Principal and works closely with Executive, administration staff and authorised external service providers.

This is a specialist administration role rather than an executive position. The successful applicant researches, analyses, recommends, drafts, prepares and assures. Final legal interpretation, executive decisions and acceptance of material organisational risk remain with the appropriately authorised person or body.

What you’ll be doing

This is not a role where identifying a problem and forwarding it to someone else is enough.

You will be expected to research issues, understand what they mean for Allegra, develop a practical proposed solution and prepare matters for implementation,



consultation, approval or escalation.

Your work will include:

- administering and maintaining the School's Policy Connect environment;
- monitoring legislative, regulatory and policy developments;
- reviewing and drafting policies, procedures and supporting resources;
- translating compliance requirements into practical workflows, registers, templates and systems;
- coordinating WHS policy, documentation, preparedness and assurance activity;
- reviewing incidents, hazards, corrective actions and WHS evidence;
- supporting crisis and emergency preparedness, drills and corrective-action processes;
- coordinating policy and assurance frameworks for cybersecurity, privacy and information governance;
- developing and maintaining the School's business-continuity framework;
- supporting organisational risk-assessment processes;
- conducting internal compliance and assurance reviews;
- supporting registration, audit and child-protected assurance preparedness;
- developing accessible implementation and communication resources; and
- preparing regular assurance reports for the Principal, Executive Leadership Team and Board.

We are looking for someone who can:

- turn complex requirements into clear, practical systems rather than simply identify problems;
- research legislation, regulation, policy and authoritative guidance carefully;
- distinguish mandatory requirements from recommended or preferred practice;
- prepare concise, decision-oriented recommendations for senior leaders;
- take ownership of deadlines, records, version control and follow-up;
- work independently wh
