The Role

Rosebank College is seeking an exceptional and highly motivated Diverse Learning Teacher Assistant to join the College on a permanent full-time basis, commencing Term 1, 2027.

This is an exciting opportunity to become one of the inaugural education support staff assisting with the introduction of Stage 3 (Years 5 and 6) while also contributing to the wider Diverse Learning Team across Years 5–12.

Reporting to the Diverse Learning Coordinator, the Diverse Learning Teacher Assistant will work collaboratively with the Director of Stage 3, Stage 3 teachers and the wider Diverse Learning Team to support students with diverse learning needs.

While the role will play an important part in supporting the successful introduction of Stage 3 (Year 5) in 2027, it is fundamentally a College-wide Diverse Learning position. The successful applicant will be required to work flexibly across Years 5–12, supporting students and teachers wherever required, with day-to-day priorities and deployment determined by the Diverse Learning Coordinator in response to student needs and operational requirements.

The successful applicant will assist teachers in implementing learning adjustments, supporting students within classrooms and small group settings, preparing learning resources, promoting student engagement, independence and wellbeing, and contributing to an inclusive learning environment where every student is supported to achieve their personal best. The role requires flexibility, collaboration and the ability to work effectively across a range of year groups, faculties and learning environments.

Working collaboratively across the College, the Diverse Learning Teacher Assistant will contribute to the successful establishment of Stage 3 while remaining an integral member of the Diverse Learning Team, providing support across all year groups as directed by the Diverse Learning Coordinator. This flexible approach ensures that student support remains responsive to the evolving needs of the College and reflects our commitment to providing inclusive learning opportunities for every student.

This is not simply a Teacher Assistant position; it is an opportunity to help establish an inclusive Stage 3 learning environment from the very beginning while making a lasting difference in the lives of young people across Rosebank College.
