General teacher position

Putland Education and Training Unit (ETU) is located within Cobham Youth Justice Centre (YJC). Putland ETU provides educational services only to the young people incarcerated within the facility. The primary function of the centre is the detention of young men between the ages of 15 to 21 years who have been remanded in custody following their arrest and prior to sentencing. The nature of detainees' offences varies, as does the time taken for their court matters to be finalised.

Putland ETU provides targeted education programs to the young male detainees who are housed in the centre. These young men present with significant challenging behaviours and have been assessed as posing increased safety risks to themselves and others. Protocols and procedures are in place with our partner agency, to ensure the safety of all staff and students. A thorough five-day induction program is conducted to ensure that staff feel confident and understand all procedures and protocols required to operate in our setting.

We work closely with staff from our partner agency, to assist our young people to learn life skills and gain new knowledge and perspectives to best prepare them to be successfully integrated back into society.
