Role description


We are seeking to establish a pool of Education Assistants – Special Needs 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.

Nestled in the charming rural town of Kirup, just 55km from Bunbury on the Southwest Highway between Donnybrook and Balingup, Kirup Primary School offers a warm and inclusive learning environment where children thrive both academically and personally.

We cater to students from Kindergarten to Year 6 (K-6), offering a quality education tailored to each child's individual needs. With small class sizes and a strong teacher-to-student ratio, every child receives the attention they deserve, including those requiring enrichment or additional support.
