As a School Assistant, you'll be a key player in sparking a lifelong love of learning. You'll set the stage for a positive day of learning by assisting students in developing the skills they need to connect with their teachers, peers, and the world around them.

Bring relevant experience, qualifications (Cert III or Cert IV in School Based Education Support or equivalent), Child Safety Checks, and a passion for working with students to make a positive impact in the classroom.

Work as part of a multidisciplinary team, contributing to innovative and adaptive ways of learning that benefit all students.
