<p><strong>About the business</strong></p> <p>Goldfields Baptist College is the only Kindergarten to Year 12 registered educational facility in Kalgoorlie-Boulder, creating a consistent pathway on a student’s learning journey. We are a multicultural, multi-denominational, co-educational school that offers a holistic Christian education. Our learning, pastoral care and relationships are built upon a strong Christian foundation, and we are extremely proud of our working environment, which is one of unparalleled support and community. As is captured in our Mission Statement, the College culture is one of community and support that nurtures and equips not only our students, but each person, for life. As such, at GBC, we invest deeply into one another as colleagues, and approach all elements of our professional practice with a view to continue to collaboratively grow together. This makes it a wonderful environment in which to flourish as a professional, amongst committed colleagues who are eager to invest into you, your personal wellbeing, and your professional growth.</p> <p><br><strong>Our Mission</strong></p> <p>At GBC, we are creating a flourishing educational community that is being transformed by the Truth of God’s word. We are nurturing and equipping each person for life, empowering them to be thriving contributors in the world.</p> <p><br><strong>About the role</strong></p> <p>We are seeking a dynamic and versatile&nbsp;Education Assistant to join our team delivering the curriculum from a Christian perspective. You will join a team of highly skilled professionals, with a supportive Executive team. Make a difference by ensuring the pastoral care of our students.</p> <p><br><strong>Isn’t Kalgoorlie really far away?</strong></p> <p>Kalgoorlie is 600km from Perth, which means a 50-minute flight, an approximately six-hour train trip, or an approximately six and a half hour drive through regional Western Australia. Once in the Goldfields, you might be surprised at what is available in our remote city. With a population of over 30,000, the facilities and amenities available to you are not that different to what is found in city suburbs. One of our biggest points of difference, however, is the incredibly strong community spirit, with some of the most egalitarian and down-to-Earth people that can be found anywhere, coupled with tightly knit church communities that join together regularly for combined praise and fellowship.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Opportunities</strong></p> <p>One of the many positives in working in a small school in regional Western Australia is the natural opportunity to begin your path into School Leadership or teaching Senior Secondary students for the first time. Working in regional schools presents opportunities for staff members to try their hand at organising events, or to flourish in areas of passion, by implementing innovations and ideas, even within your first year at the school. GBC currently has positions vacant on the Leadership Team, so in your application for a teaching position, you can also express your interest in a Leadership position to begin or continue this avenue of your career. Finally, small regional schools also offer excellent opportunities for flexibility in work arrangements. Many of our staff members are parents, both with children enrolled at the College, and some with children enrolled elsewhere. Other staff members are completing study whilst undertaking a part-time load. There is flexibility in adjusting timetables, working on preferred days, adjusted contact hours, and strong understanding of those ‘drop and run’ times under all kinds of personal circumstances.</p> <p><br><strong>Position and Requirements</strong></p> <p>This position is available at 0.93 FTE.&nbsp;</p> <p>Applicants will also be required to demonstrate or hold:</p> <ul> <li>Cert III or higher in Education Support or similar qualification.</li> <li>Valid Working with Children Check.</li> <li>Right to work in Australia.</li> <li>Engagement with GBC’s Christian ethos.</li> <li><strong>GBC Employment Application Form</strong>, which can be found on the College website at <a href="https://www.gbc.wa.edu.au" rel="nofollow">www.gbc.wa.edu.au</a> and submitted via <a href="mailto:<a href='mailto:gbcadmin@gbc.wa.edu.au?subject=Education%20Assistant%20position%20%28via%20Teachers%20On%20Net%29'>gbcadmin@gbc.wa.edu.au</a>?subject=Education%20Assistant%20position%20%28via%20Teachers%20On%20Net%29" rel="nofollow"></a><a href="mailto:gbcadmin@gbc.wa.edu.au?subject=Education%20Assistant%20position%20%28via%20Teachers%20On%20Net%29">gbcadmin@gbc.wa.edu.au</a> for attention René Koekemoer.</li> </ul> <p>Pay scale is based on Qualification and Experience as per our EBA, commencing at $26.89 per hour.</p>
