Learning Support Coordinator – Preparatory School

You are likely to be someone who is both compassionate and highly organised because this role requires plenty of heart but also a rather impressive ability to keep many moving parts moving in roughly the same direction.

You build relationships easily and communicate with sensitivity and clarity. You are comfortable facilitating complex conversations and can hold differing perspectives without losing sight of what best serves the student.

You are curious rather than prescriptive. You understand that good Learning Support is not one-size-fits-all and are willing to think creatively when the obvious intervention is not working.

Importantly you believe in building capacity around students rather than creating dependency on support.

You will bring:

• a relevant teaching qualification;
• additional qualifications or training in Learning Support Inclusive Education or Special Educational Needs;
• experience supporting students with additional learning needs in a school environment;
• sound knowledge of neurodiversity and evidence-based support practices;
• knowledge of learning differences including dyslexia ADHD developmental language difficulties and executive functioning challenges;
• experience interpreting Educational Psychology reports and implementing recommendations;
• an understanding of differentiated instruction and inclusive classroom practice;
• experience coordinating support across multiple stakeholders;
• strong written and verbal communication skills;
• excellent organisational and administrative capability; and
• emotional intelligence initiative flexibility and a collaborative approach.

Above all we are looking for someone who can hold two things at once: high expectations for students and deep respect for the different ways in which they learn.

If you are passionate about inclusive education and believe that the right support can help a young person move from Something is wrong with me to I understand how I learn we would love to hear from you.
