About Rehoboth

As the first Christian parent-governed school in Western Australia, we are pioneers of distinctly Christian education. Our rich heritage stretches back almost sixty years; we have learned a fair bit in that time and are always seeking ways to improve and innovate.

Your background should include either a Cert IV or above in Youth Work, or Chaplaincy and Pastoral Care and/or significant experience in a similar role.
