Head of Operations – Tasmania’s First Multi-School Organisation (MSO) Lead a bold new chapter in Tasmania’s reform of government schools

In January 2025, following the Independent Review of Education in Tasmania, the Tasmanian Government announced a trial of Multi-School Organisations (MSOs) within the government school system. MSOs are strong families of schools, brought together under shared leadership and governance to drive improvement, equity, and innovation at scale.

The MSO model is inspired by England’s Multi-Academy Trust model, which Grattan Institute’s 2024 Spreading Success report identified as international best practice. The trial is being delivered through a partnership between the Tasmanian Government and McKinnon – an independent not-for-profit organisation.

The Department for Education, Children and Young People (DECYP) is seeking a dynamic and experienced Head of Operations to join the founding executive team of Tasmania’s first MSO, launching in early 2026. This is a rare opportunity to shape a new educational institution, as well as broader statewide policy, from the ground up.
