Advertised Vacancy Number IPS/SS897841

Appointment Pool

We are seeking to establish a pool for appointments to 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.

About the Role

The role of the Aboriginal and Islander Education Officer is to improve the educational outcomes of Aboriginal and Islander students by ensuring they receive the educational and cultural support they need to feel welcome, respected, understood and cared for and giving them the skills to achieve academically to the best of their abilities.

To be suitable for this role, you will be reliable and flexible, whilst providing support and effective assistance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, their parents/guardians, teachers, the school and the community through the knowledge, understanding and sharing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history, language and culture.

About the School

Broome Primary School was established in 1901 and is the oldest school in the district. The school boasts a proud history and values the buildings, surroundings and the achievements of its past and present students. Broome PS is established on Yawuru land and embraces the rich Aboriginal culture, along with the historical and diverse multicultural aspects of the Broome community. The school was devastated by a fire in January 2020, which destroyed a significant portion of the school.

Planning is in place for a new administration building and a new classroom block, with state of the art facilities. The rebuild will take place during 2021, and the new facilities are expected to be ready for use early in 2022. Earlier in the year, the school was blessed by the Yawuru People, who during a special ceremony used the phrase 'Jirrilngany ngarrungunil, yagarrmijala', meaning 'Strong People, we will rise up'. This expression has been adopted by the school community and has inspired students, staff and parents to ensure the school continues to thrive into the future.

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

Good written and oral communication skills, including the ability to effectively interact with students, teachers, parents, community members and professional staff on the provision and development of educational programs. Good interpersonal skills, including the ability to interact on a range of levels in a variety of settings and with different audiences, including community members, teaching and other professionals. Ability to contribute to a school-level team and to provide multi-cultural direction in the development of the educational program, development of language resources, and evaluation of education and behaviour management programs. Ability to effectively assist teachers in implementing educational and behaviour management programs. Good organisational skills that will assist in the delivery of effective education programs to students. 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.
