Education Assistants and Special Needs Education Assistants

An exciting opportunity has become available for Christian Education Assistants and Special Needs Education Assistants who are seeking either part-time or full-time positions at our Kenwick Primary, Wilson Primary and/or Secondary Campuses, starting in 2025.

Are you someone who has a genuine love for Christian education, children and their families? If so, this may be the role for you!

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.

Rehoboth exists to partner with families in their God-given task of nurturing and educating their children. The successful candidate will be joining a team who sincerely believe in the mission to lead students to think and live for the glory of God in every aspect of their lives.

About the Position

You will need to perform non-teaching duties to assist the teaching staff in the Early Childhood, Primary or Secondary Schools, providing care and supervision for students including running Learning Support Intervention and the implementation of documented plans for students with additional needs to track curriculum and teaching adjustments.

Our Special Needs Assistants support students with a range of additional needs, including students with Down Syndrome, Autism, ADHD, anxiety, language difficulties and learning disabilities. For the Special Needs role, preference will be given to candidates who have gained experience supporting students with additional learning needs.

Part-time and full-time positions are available. Candidates who are currently studying towards Cert III and IV in School Based Education Support are invited to apply.

What You Need to Succeed

Apart from the necessary qualifications, we look for people who are a great cultural fit. Rehoboth is a community of Christians – parents and staff alike – and we prioritise supporting one another in our spiritual walks and encouraging students to explore their faith and discover their God-given gifts.

Because of the deeply Christian nature of our College, we consider all staff to be role models to students, no matter what position they hold. We take your active involvement in a local Protestant Christian church, a deeply committed Christian lifestyle, and ability to articulate your personal Christian faith as evidence of your desire to help build a vibrant Christian community at Rehoboth.

You will also need to be an exceptional communicator and have an outstanding ability to work collaboratively with staff and students. This is where your pastoral heart and passion for teaching will shine.

Here are the essential criteria for the position:

• you must be actively involved in a local Protestant Christian church and be able to demonstrate an exemplary Christian lifestyle,
• you must hold or be willing to obtain a Working with Children Check,
• you must be willing to obtain a Department of Education Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check, and
• a Certificate III or IV in Education Support or previous experience is desirable.
