Role description
Mimili Anangu School is located in a remote Aboriginal community on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands, approximately 70 km west of the Stuart Highway and 450 km south of Alice Springs by road. It offers a unique and rewarding opportunity to live and work in a culturally rich community surrounded by the beauty of Central Australia.
We are seeking a dedicated Playgroup Teacher to lead the Families as First Teachers (FaFT) program as part of the school?s early childhood education provision. In this role, you will design, develop and deliver a holistic early childhood program for birth to 3-year-old children and their families, using FaFT resources and the Early Years Learning Framework to support early learning and parenting in ways that meet the needs of the Mimili community.
The successful applicant will work closely with Anangu Educators to deliver all aspects of the program and will also provide non-instruction time release for Junior Primary or Lower Primary teachers. Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara languages are central to the learning program, alongside a strong focus on oral language, reading, EALD strategies, culturally responsive pedagogies and trauma-informed practices.
We are looking for someone who is flexible, community-minded and able to work collaboratively with families, service providers and staff to deliver an engaging and relevant learning program. A positive attitude, willingness to learn, and a good sense of humour will be highly valued.
