Join a dedicated and dynamic team and help make a difference to our School Community
Newton Moore Education Support Centre (ESC) are seeking to establish a pool of Education Support Teachers for appointments to permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2024 school year. Appointments can be made from the pool at any time for commencements within the 2024 school year.
Newton Moore ESC is an Independent Public School nestled in the thriving and idyllic coastal City of Bunbury, WA. The Centre is specifically designed to meet the needs of Years 7 to 12 students with intellectual disabilities or autism with high needs. We offer a caring, respectful, small school environment where all students participate and actively engage in all facets of school life.
Our school has been recognised as an Excellent Public School, central to this award was our innovative programs but most importantly the outstanding staff who are passionate about our students.
At Newton Moore ESC we believe that effective teachers build relationships and connections which are key to student success. We are role models and lead by example in our classes.
We know strong self-reflection is important and take opportunities to grow. We acknowledge and challenge our cultural responsiveness and seek to learn. We take opportunities to know our students from all transition points in school and all areas of their wellbeing. We take an interest in them as individuals and all they can add to our school tapestry.
We plan with the child at the centre, with families and young people, through IEP's and Person Centred Plans. We differentiate our learning through tiered responses and collaborative planning. Our learning is delivered through strong relationships and structured routines with clear, taught expectations. We create safe learning spaces with tiered supports and trained staff to build student academic, social and pastoral needs.
We teach our students in the way they prefer to learn; we recognise our learners are individuals and required approaches that meet where they are at as we do with assessment.
Successful applicants will have the knowledge and skills to contribute to the establishment of an exceptional Education Support program. Key elements of this program include creating an environment that:
- engages, enthuses and challenges students.
- classroom management and positive behaviour Support (PBS) are displayed.
- incorporates technology.
- accommodates individual student needs.
- provides timely social and academic feedback to students and parents.
- cares for the whole student.
- celebrates curiosity and creativity.
As a school we are always looking to expand our classroom and specialist curriculum programs and would encourage classroom and specialist teachers to apply.
Our school offers far more than 'just another teaching job'. We offer a busy and vibrant workplace where really good people work hard together; regular and well-structured team meetings to keep you 'in the loop' and give you a voice; ongoing opportunities for you to present and implement approved ideas that improve your work practices and an environment that is centred on providing quality education to our students. Our culture is one of reflection, collaboration, trust and positive relationships. We are always seeking to learn and provide feedback in all we do.
You are more than a teacher at Newton Moore ESC, you are a mentor and a life coach in an environment with democratic leadership and a culture that has the right blend of engagement and consultation combined with clarity and consistency around policy.
If you feel you have what we are looking for please apply, we would love to hear from you.
To be suitable for this role, you will need to demonstrate your competency against the following domains (that govern the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers):
