This is a nine (9) month fixed term, part-time (0.4 FTE) position commencing Term 2, 2025 with possible extension (12 months) and/or permanency.

Como Primary School (PS) is an inner suburban school situated near the Swan River. We are an Independent Public School catering for children from Kindergarten to Year 6. Our motto, Only Our Best, is well reflected in all areas of school life and in everything that we do and applies equally to the academic, social, emotional, and physical development of all our students. Our students are confident, articulate, self-motivated, and have a positive attitude towards school. We provide them with the skills and confidence to be their best and achieve their potential.

As a highly valued member at Como PS, you should value the importance of establishing and developing positive relationships with students, staff, parents, and caregivers. You should possess an openness to change, display initiative, and be solutions-focused; always ensuring you are providing the best learning opportunities for our students.

The successful applicant will ideally work collaboratively with teachers to plan and implement engaging, challenging, and purposeful learning programs that are inclusive of all students in their care. It will ideally be highly regarded if you have high expectations and possess the belief that every child can succeed and that every child is important. The successful applicant will ideally support the teacher to nurture students' academic, social, and emotional growth.

A key aspect of this role will ideally be the ability to effectively cater for the diverse learning needs of students, with a dynamic and highly collaborative approach to meet the needs of all students. Ideally, the successful applicant will have knowledge and experience in social and emotional regulation, and restorative practices would be highly regarded. Under the guidance of the teacher, you will assist in the delivery of planned educational programs, implement individual or small-group programs, and provide valuable feedback to support student learning, including working with students identified as being at educational risk. It is highly desirable that the successful applicant is self-reflective, welcomes feedback, and is committed to ongoing growth of their practice.
