The Role

Are you a dynamic teacher who has the capacity to work with a team in an engagement space?

Fitzroy Valley DHS has established an engagement team in 2025 who are supporting disengaged students to return to the classroom. Students work within a highly supportive structure at the school and slowly transition back to mainstream classrooms over a time frame that is supportive of the student. Strong social and emotional wraparounds support this approach for each student within the program. The program is directed by a highly qualified and experienced Program Coordinator.

It is highly desirable that the successful applicant is committed to developing positive relationships with students, parents, staff and the wider community.
