Curriculum and Policy Developer

About William Campbell College, NSW

William Campbell College is currently being redeveloped to open in 2023, after running successfully from 2010 – 2014 as a purpose-built, Christian Special Assistance School, providing holistic approach towards the needs of children and young people including education, health, welfare, social, cultural, emotional and spiritual.

William Campbell College is a unique school experience, incorporating agriculture, permaculture and horticulture into everyday learning, and is available for children and young people who are unable to attend mainstream schooling. There are many reasons children or young people are unable to attend mainstream schooling including severe behaviour problems, lack of literacy, numeracy skills and intellectual mental health issues that may have emanated from the abuse and neglect suffered in their young lives.

The uniqueness of the school allows for teachers and staff to work in a cohesive manner with staff from William Campbell Foundation, which is our connected not for profit Out of Home Care Service, providing permanency support programs and therapeutic services to children and young people. This allows a greater understanding of the children’s trauma and individual needs.

At William Campbell College, we take pride in our respectful and diverse workplace culture, which supports and creates opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people for the benefit of children, young people, individuals and families. We value the unique skills, experience and knowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people contribute to the workplace, and encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to apply for roles within our organisation.

We are committed to being an equal opportunity employer. All applicants who meet the criteria will receive equal consideration for employment.
