We are seeking to establish a pool of Special Needs Education Assistants for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2027 school year. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.
Castlereagh School is a specialist Education Support School for students K-12 with disability and high support needs. Castlereagh’s staff motivate learning in children and young adults aged four to 18 in a vibrant, nurturing, educational environment. Whilst we foster academic skills through the Western Australian & ABLEWA Curriculums, we place great value on communication, connection, belonging, predictability and engagement. We regard every student to be an individual with their unique strengths, needs and learning preferences.
Our students have diverse communication needs and seek alternative access to curricula and post school learning opportunities. Their needs are provided for with a well-balanced educational experience with a literacy, numeracy, communications and independence focus.
Communication underpins everything we do, and we take great pride in seeing every student blossom.
