Job Description

Nelson Park School is a dynamic specialist setting that fosters educational excellence and promotes quality partnerships with home and community.

We cater for students between the ages of 5-18 years in the Geelong region with mild intellectual disabilities. Our current enrolment is approximately 360, with a small number of students on part-time placement.

Our staff comprises Principal Class Officers, Leading Teachers, Classroom Teachers, Specialist Teachers, Education Support Staff, Wellbeing Officers, administration, and therapist staff.

Our main campus is situated in Bell Park, with a second campus located in Corio.

At Nelson Park, we are committed to the development of each student's intellectual, social, and emotional growth.

Our primary focus is to enable students to discover their strengths and develop the confidence and skills needed to fulfill their educational and personal potential.

We empower students to become confident and adaptable life-long learners who are ready to build positive, purposeful futures.

We value cooperation, learning, effort, respect, and community.

We have established a set of school rules for both students and staff that reflect our values.

These rules promote a safe and secure learning environment for all.

Students are supported within a multi-disciplinary framework that includes parents, caregivers, special trained teachers and assistants, a therapy team, student wellbeing officers, and Disability Agencies.

Staff at the school have developed a Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum which provides appropriate, challenging, and engaging learning opportunities within a safe and supportive environment.

Individual Learning Plans which reflect the Victorian Curriculum and Individual Student Goals are developed each year for all students at Student Support Group Meetings.

The 'Starting Right' Program is implemented for the first two weeks at the beginning of each school year.

This program is used to establish the culture and environment in each classroom and develop relationships between all class members.

Required Skills and Qualifications

A teaching support role requires strong communication skills, patience, and empathy when interacting with students, colleagues, and parents.

You will need to possess excellent interpersonal skills to work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams, provide emotional support to students, and maintain accurate records.

An education support worker should be able to adapt quickly to changing situations, prioritize tasks effectively, and work independently with minimal supervision.

Benefits

We offer a supportive and inclusive work environment, competitive salary, and opportunities for professional growth and development.

As an education support worker, you will contribute to the academic, social, and emotional success of our students.

You will be working in a dynamic setting with a diverse range of students, providing individualized support to enhance their learning experiences.

Others

Education support workers play a vital role in creating a positive and inclusive school culture.

They help foster a sense of belonging among students, promote self-esteem, and encourage independence.

We invite applications from enthusiastic and dedicated individuals who share our commitment to delivering high-quality education and care to students with mild intellectual disabilities.
