Teacher - Multiple Opportunities - Wacol Youth

The Queensland Government is committed to reforming the youth justice system to strengthen the prevention, early intervention and rehabilitation responses to youth crime in Queensland and make communities safer. QETC is a multi-campus Department of Education school operating within South-East Queensland's Youth Detention Centres at Wacol. QETC is a school that caters to male and female students from across the state who are either on remand or have been sentenced for criminal offences. The school plays an important role in the community by providing young people in detention with the opportunity to gain knowledge, skills, and values that can enhance their capacity to pursue positive choices in the future. WYRESH will be a co-educational school delivering educational programs to up 76 remanded young people at the Youth Justice operated Wacol Youth Remand Centre located at Wacol. It is intended that young people will only be held on remand at this centre for short periods. The curriculum will focus on individualised literacy and numeracy learning and, through the social development of students utilising restorative practice principles, will aim to prepare students for a successful transition to school, employment or further training. WYRESH will operate under a separate operating model, which will be collaboratively developed in consultation with Youth Justice and key stakeholders over the coming months. The hub will be run as an interim facility until the end of 2026 with the possibility of extension. In order to maintain engagement of students across the year, Queensland youth detention centre schools' education delivery model runs over a 48-week school year. The employment entitlements for staff are the same as other State Schools however this model provides an exciting opportunity to access other flexible work agreements. Through negotiation with the Head of Campus, the successful applicant will determine whether a regular or alternative school holiday model is accessed. **About the role**: Teachers will work collaboratively with the Head of Campus, staff across QETC campuses and key stakeholders from interdepartmental agencies to implement an improvement agenda underpinned by QETC's vision statement of "unlocking learning." Due to the interim nature of the hub, permanent Queensland State School teachers should discuss a relieving at level opportunity with their current principal.
