Background information about the job or company (e.g., role context, company overview)

Youth Off The Streets (YOTS) is a leading not-for-profit organisation empowering young people to build brighter futures. As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO), we deliver nationally recognised qualifications in Youth Work, Community Services, Leadership and more.

We are seeking a Business Development Coordinator to support enrolment growth and strengthen partnerships that expand access to education and training for young people and communities.

Why This Role?

Working closely with internal teams and external stakeholders, this role focuses on engagement, coordination, and compliance‑aligned pathways into training.
