West Perth, Australia Department of Education, Western Australia Full time

Advertised Vacancy Number IPS/SS888525

Appointment Pool

Successful Applicants from previous process IPS/SS863436 need not re-apply.

Riva Primary School (PS) are seeking to expand our pool of Education Assistant – Special Needs – Inclusive Education for appointments for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2024 school year. Appointments can be made from the pool at any time for commencements within the 2024 school year.

At Riva, our vision is to imagine a better school, and become that better school, every day. We deliver this in alignment with our school values of respect, inclusion and achievement. As a rapidly growing, inclusive school, we are growing our team of over 100 staff, including approximately fifty Education Assistants to continue to meet the needs of our 750 students.

Our One-School approach starts with Education Assistants who are recognised, skilled, supported and developed to work where our students need them.

You will not hear ‘mainstream’ or ‘special needs’ at our school. Education Assistants are for all Riva students, in every classroom, every day, for individuals and small groups, for intensive instruction and support, for communication, collaboration and access, and for every student to not just feel, but experience, a sense of belonging and achievement.

Education Assistants work as part of our united team, providing seamless connection and belonging for each student, from a full Kindergarten classroom to a highly individualised therapy program.

Education Assistants at this level work under limited supervision and may be expected to participate within a team situation, offering advice and expertise relating to their relevant area. Education outcomes are determined by the Teacher, in consultation with the Education Assistant who will be expected to perform tasks which may require discretion in problem solving, decision making, and choosing methods and processes to achieve outcomes. Performance of these tasks may require activities within or outside the school that result in supervision of students without the presence of a teacher.

Applicants are encouraged to learn more about our school, our values and how our Education Assistants support our focus areas of respect, inclusion, achievement and community through visiting our website, or contacting any member of our school leadership team.

To be suitable for this role, you will need to demonstrate the following work related requirements (selection criteria):

Effective written and oral communication skills, including report writing and the ability to effectively interact with students with special needs, and liaise with parents, teachers and community members and assist teachers in understanding students where necessary. Effective interpersonal skills with the ability to contribute to a professional team and provide advice and evaluation in the development of the education program, including special education and therapy programs where they have been implemented. Ability to assist professionals in the implementation and evaluation of education programs, including special education and, if required, occupational and/or physiotherapy programs. Knowledge and understanding of health and physical disabilities in students and adolescents. Effective organisational skills that will assist in the delivery of effective education programs and subsequent feedback and evaluation to teachers or psychologists. Ability to assist with the general health and well being of students.

Applications will be assessed against these work related requirements (selection criteria) of the position. The business needs of the school may also be considered. It is therefore recommended that you consider all information contained in the advertisement and any other related information before applying for the vacancy.

The Department is an equal opportunity employer and encourages people with disability, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and persons from culturally diverse backgrounds to apply.
