We are currently seeking an appropriately qualified applicant to fill an Inclusive Education Teacher (0.6 FTE) role, for our K-12 Gosford School located in the picturesque Narara Valley.

We therefore seek Christians who are professionally and personally committed to bringing their Biblically based beliefs, values and practices to this ministry of Christian Education.
The role of the Inclusive Education Teacher is to support and promote the mission and vision of the College, with a particular focus on continuing the establishment and development of the culture of inclusion among staff, students and the wider school community. The vision for the role of an Inclusive Education Teacher is to support students and their teachers, between Kindergarten and Year Twelve, as part of a collaborative team.

- Have a proficient understanding and skills in computer technology, and a willingness to embrace new innovations to support students.
- Possess a high level of interpersonal skills and ability to create a healthy team culture.
- Proven ability to partner effectively with parents and class teachers in the education and care of their children.
- Support staff to create a learning environment where all students feel safe and secure, enabling them to learn effectively.
- Create Individual Learning Plans collaboratively with families and monitor these, adjustments as part of the collection of evidence, for the Nationally Consistent Collection Of Data (NCCD).
- Observe and assess students of concern, who may need assistance and adjustments and then support collaborative meetings with families and teachers.
- Attend excursions, school events and camps as required, to support students with needs.
- Maintain opportunities for wellbeing and pastoral care of students.
- Participate in staff meetings, team meetings and additional training as part of your role.
