This is a part-time (2 days/week) role that would be suited to a retired learning support teacher or university student from a childcare, primary teaching, learning support, OT or speech therapy background looking for something a bit different.

Tasks will include:

• Assisting with learning the daily workplace routines
• Help prepare, set up and pack up suitable activities for children

Successful candidates must have a current paid WWCC (working with children check), ABN, car and be COVID vaccinated.

If you are a compassionate, caring, patient and organised person who loves helping others, then this role might be just for you. The young adult has no behavioural issues, other than having learning and processing difficulties that makes learning new things in the workplace a bit harder.
