Appointments can be made from the pool at any time for commencements within the 2024 school year.
Education Assistant - Special Needs are responsible for assisting teachers with preparing resources and programs that meet the learning needs of students with disabilities and encouraging these students to reach their individual goals. They also provide effective feedback when required on education and therapy programs and participate in the evaluation process relating to the achievement of student’s individual goals.
As an Education Assistant - Special Needs, suitable applicants will, under general supervision and guidance, perform tasks that require discretion and judgement in achieving clearly defined outcomes determined by the teacher. You should be able to apply techniques, skills and knowledge of relevant principles and practices acquired through previous experience, job learning or relevant qualification.
Suitable applicants will ideally display a commitment to building positive relationships with students, parents, staff, and the wider community. You should have a willingness to assist students with a variety of disabilities and/or learning needs.
Roebourne DHS caters to students from Kindergarten to Year 12, with approximately 99% of its cohort being Aboriginal.

Our school is supported by the community and through Aboriginal Corporations and agencies, as well as by mining and other companies, Government Departments, and non-government organisations. The community has a strong arts base and this has influenced the school community in developing a strategic plan, with a movement to Arts based programs to engage a wider range of students.
To be suitable for this role, you will need to demonstrate the following work related requirements (selection criteria):
1. Effective written and oral communication skills, including report writing and the ability to effectively interact with students with special needs, and liaise with parents, teachers and community members and assist teachers in understanding students where necessary.
2. Effective interpersonal skills with the ability to contribute to a professional team and provide advice and evaluation in the development of the education program, including special education and therapy programs where they have been implemented.
3. Ability to assist professionals in the implementation and evaluation of education programs, including special education and, if required, occupational and/or physiotherapy programs.
4. Knowledge and understanding of health and physical disabilities in students and adolescents.
5. Effective organisational skills that will assist in the delivery of effective education programs and subsequent feedback and evaluation to teachers or psychologists.
6. Ability to assist with the general health and wellbeing 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.
