Secondary Special Needs Education Assistant

An exciting opportunity has become available for inspired, resilient, Christian Special Needs Education Assistants to join our well established and growing school community at our Kenwick Secondary Campus as we accommodate students and courses. 

Are you someone who has a genuine love for Christian education, children, and their families? If so, this is the role for you!

As the first Christian parent-governed school in Western Australia, we are pioneers of distinctly Christian education. Our rich heritage stretches back almost sixty years; we have learned a fair bit in that time and are always seeking ways to improve and innovate. 

Rehoboth exists to partner with families in their God-given task of nurturing and educating their children. You will be joining a team who really believe in their mission to lead students to think and live for the glory of God in every aspect of their lives.

You will assist the teaching staff in the Secondary School, providing care, lesson facilitation and supervision for students including those with Special Needs who require learning support.

Our Special Needs Assistants support students with a range of additional needs, including students with Down Syndrome, ASD, ADHD, anxiety and language difficulties. We are looking for someone who has previous experience with Special Needs students. High abilities with Literacy and Mathematics facilitation are desirable.

We have full-time, part-time and relief positions available.

Apart from the necessary qualifications, we look for people who are a great cultural fit. Rehoboth is a community of Christians – parents and staff alike – and we are all about supporting each other in our spiritual walks and encouraging students to explore their faith and discover their God-given gifts.

We take your active involvement in a local Protestant Christian church, a deeply committed Christian lifestyle, and ability to articulate your personal Christian faith as evidence of your desire to help build a vibrant Christian community at Rehoboth.

You will also need to be an exceptional communicator and have an outstanding ability to work collaboratively with staff and students. This is where your pastoral heart and passion for teaching will shine.

Here are the essential criteria for the position:

• you must hold a Certificate IV in Education Support; 
• you must be actively involved in a local Protestant Christian church and be able to demonstrate an exemplary Christian lifestyle;  
• you must hold or obtain a Working with Children Check; and
• you must hold or obtain a Department of Education Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check that is no more than three months old. 

For more information on the role, please read through the position description on our website. 

Steps to apply:

• head to our website and apply by completing the Non-Teaching Staff Application Form;
• include a comprehensive resume; 
• include a letter of reference from your church pastor/minister; and
• provide a certified copy of your qualifications.
