Our Purpose and Ambition

NextSense is a not-for-profit organisation supporting people with vision or hearing loss across Australia. We work with children, adults, and their families, providing a holistic approach to hearing services for newborns through to people over 90 years old, and helping children who are blind or have low vision to develop the right skills, mobility, and independence to confidently explore their world.

NextSense has been breaking boundaries since 1860, and we've been expanding our services ever since. Today, we deliver world-class education (both to children with sensory loss and to professionals in the field), cochlear implants, allied health services, therapy, research, and clinical services to children and adults. We're a registered NDIS provider, working with our clients to achieve their own goals and potential.

We're committed to research and innovation; harnessing the latest technologies and new ways of thinking and educating the next generation to lead the way in hearing and vision services.

We are currently creating a world-leading centre for innovation on-site at Macquarie University that represents a new era for hearing and vision loss. This nationally significant social infrastructure project will be a place to nurture, trial and share new ideas and form new partnerships that will drive better outcomes for people who are deaf, hard of hearing, blind or have low vision.

To be successful in this role, you'll need to demonstrate you meet the following selection criteria:

  • Relevant degree or recognised teaching qualification in Education of the Deaf. A Master of Disabilities/Sensory is favoured.
  • National Association of Australian Teacher of the Deaf membership.
  • Native/near native Auslan signer, Interpreter level or fluent in Auslan.
  • Excellent written and verbal/signer communication skills, including the capacity to handle sensitive matters with tact and diplomacy.
  • Excellent teaching practice.
  • Experience in the education of students who are deaf or hard of hearing.
  • A current NSW driver's licence.
  • A first aid certificate.
  • A working with children's check.
  • A criminal record check.
  • You are obliged to become familiar with, and comply with child protection policies and legislation, as amended from time to time.

We're here to help. If you have any further questions, please reach out to our hiring manager Antonella Dolores.

Compliance with child protection legislation is essential.
