Role description


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.

Southwell Primary School (PS), located in Hamilton Hill, is a small Kindergarten to Year 6 school serving a diverse community. Our size allows staff to know their students well, work closely with colleagues and make a visible contribution to the life and direction of the school.

Our motto is: Every Child, Every Chance, Every Day and we are committed to creating a safe, inclusive and culturally responsive learning environment where every child is known, supported and challenged to succeed. Aboriginal students form a significant part of our school community and strong relationships with students, families and community are central to our work. Positive behaviour is supported through a whole-school PBS approach that builds consistency, explicitly teaches expectations and acknowledges positive choices.

Southwell PS is a school where strong educators can make a genuine difference. We recognise that successful learning begins with relationships, engagement and readiness to learn. Our Support Services Hub provides an additional layer of support, with an engagement officer, social worker and wellbeing officer working alongside staff to strengthen connections with students and families.
