Teacher - Education Support

Overview

We are seeking to establish a pool of Education Support Teachers for permanent and fixed-term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2026 school year. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.

Our educational focus is on delivering high quality teaching and learning experiences using evidence-based best-practice techniques. Durham Road School has small class sizes, with specialist teachers and education assistants across all phases of schooling. We provide a targeted, differentiated curriculum based on the Western Australian Curriculum including Abilities Based Learning, Western Australia (ABLEWA), combined with a rich social environment designed to meet the individual learning needs of each child.

The geographical intake area is between the four corners of Bullsbrook, Ellenbrook, Chidlow and Maylands. Find out more about our school by visiting Durham Road School or Schools Online.

The Role

We are seeking classroom teachers - early years teachers, primary teachers and secondary teachers, art specialists, music specialists, and teachers interested in teaching science across phases of the school.

Suitable applicants should display the ability to develop and deliver a scaffolded, differentiated curriculum tailored to the individual learning needs of students. They will ideally be skilled in using both standardised and non-standardised assessment tools and should apply a range of assessment and reporting methods—formative and summative—to effectively measure and communicate student achievement in relation to learning outcomes.

Suitable applicants should be capable of planning purposeful, relevant, and authentic learning experiences that respond to a variety of learning profiles. A commitment to collaboration is highly desirable, as teaching teams work within high-functioning Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) and engage in whole-school planning processes.

School Culture and Expectations

Our school maintains a strong, cohesive culture of reflection, innovation, and continuous improvement. Whole-school priorities and evidence-based approaches are implemented consistently across all classrooms. All staff contribute actively to this culture and uphold a shared vision for inclusive and responsive education. Suitable applicants will ideally display leadership capability, particularly in supporting and developing teams, and possess strong interpersonal communication and conflict resolution skills. An understanding of the school's strategic direction, along with a teaching philosophy that aligns with the school's values and priorities, will be highly regarded. Suitable applicants would join a professional and supportive team and uphold the school's high standards of practice, engage in ongoing learning, and contribute meaningfully to whole-school improvement efforts. The school is committed to providing comprehensive support for all staff—including graduates, early career teachers, and experienced educators new to education support—through structured professional development, mentoring, and coaching.

Vacancies may arise during the life of this pool that require specialist qualifications (for example vacancies within Early Childhood Education). Only applicants in the pool possessing the required qualifications will be considered for appointment in these circumstances.
