Carson Street School is seeking to establish a pool of Education Support Teachers for appointments to permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2024 school year and up to the end of Term 2, 2025. Appointments can be made from the pool at any time for commencements within the 2024 school year, up to the end of Term 2, 2025. Carson Street is seeking enthusiastic and innovative teachers who would like to work in a diverse and physically challenging environment. As an Education Support School, we provide specialist programs and support for primary aged students requiring the highest levels of educational adjustment. Our students have moderate, severe or profound intellectual disabilities or are diagnosed with severe autism. Many students have comorbid medical conditions with complex diagnosis and/or physical disability, sensory impairments and behavioural difficulties. All have communication difficulties; most have severe speech and language problems and are non-verbal. Assistive technologies and extensive adult assistance are used to support the implementation of highly individualised curriculum and daily living requirements. All staff at Carson Street are recruited for their specialist knowledge, experience and skills in specialist education. A working knowledge of the Early Years Learning Framework, Applied Behaviour Analysis, Discrete Trial, Conductive Education and Positive Behaviour Support will be advantageous along with a thorough understanding of how to use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), including Pragmatic Organisation Dynamic Display (PODD) and other communication devices for students with complex communication needs. Experience in leading classroom teams, managing Education Assistants, the use of Reporting to Parents and how to create Individual Education Plans will be highly regarded. Carson Street is focused upon meeting the individual needs of every student. The planning, monitoring and assessment cycle for our students using Individual Education Plans and high-quality teaching and learning programs ensure we maximise student outcomes. We aim at providing a happy, safe and caring environment for students and staff alongside high expectations for student learning. The ability to work as part of the school's multi-disciplinary workforce whilst meeting the needs of a diverse student population in an inclusive manner will be advantageous to successfully performing this role. Vacancies may arise during the life of this pool that require specialist qualifications (for example vacancies within Early Childhood Education). Only applicants, in the pool, possessing the required qualifications will be considered for appointment in these circumstances. To be suitable for this role, you will need to demonstrate your competency against the following domains (that govern the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers): Professional knowledge; Professional practice; and Professional engagement. Applications will be assessed against these domains. The business needs of the school may also be considered. It is therefore recommended that you consider all information contained in the advertisement and any other related information before applying for the vacancy. Applicants currently completing the Department of Education Leap program (formerly known as the Switch program) can apply for vacancies using their current or Leap qualification - even if they have not completed the program at the time of applying.
