Expression of Interest – Trainer and Assessors

River Nile School (RNS) is seeking expressions of interest from passionate individuals to join our VET trainer team in 2027. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to an independent senior secondary school that supports young women from refugee backgrounds. RNS offers small class sizes, and trainers work collaboratively to achieve the best possible outcomes for each student with personalised learning, wellbeing and support programs.

Who we are:

The River Nile School (RNS) is an independent senior-secondary school for young women aged 15-24 who may have had disrupted schooling, have newly arrived in Australia or find a flexible learning environment most suitable to their learning. All students who attend RNS have English as an Additional Language (EAL), so developing student levels of language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) is a central focus of our teachers. RNS offers students the VCE Vocational Major (VM), the Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) and VET Certificates through an integrated program.

It provides a high-challenge, high-support learning environment with a strengths-based approach.

River Nile School is committed to providing a safe environment for all young people. We have zero tolerance for child abuse and expect all staff to uphold our Child Safety and Wellbeing policies, maintain professional boundaries, and actively promote the safety, wellbeing, and inclusion of every student.
