Regional Learning Initiatives are seeking to establish a pool of Program Coordinators for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during 2026 and up to the end of April, 2027. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.

Western Australian Department of Education has entered into an agreement with the Australian Government Department of Education, to develop and deliver the Scaling Up Success in Remote Schools Program.

Through this program, the Regional Learning Initiative will work to expand the Kimberley Schools Project to selected schools in the Goldfields, Midwest and Pilbara Education Regions. The project has 2 key components:

- Targeted teaching – evidence-based teaching strategies, quality materials and frequent measurement of achievement.
- Community engagement – development with the community of extended learning programs and related initiatives.

Support includes coaching and advice for school leaders and teachers around building and sustaining positive school-community partnerships.

The Role Program Coordinators provide educational leadership to schools and communities by implementing and promoting the project, and encouraging school staff, volunteers from the community and others to share ownership of the project’s vision and goals.

In this role, suitable applicants will design and deliver qualified learning for teacher development to support school plans and strategies for enhancing learning outcomes for students. They will support teachers and school leaders to implement professional learning in targeted teaching and early years. They will also work with graduate teachers and support in‑school instructional coaches to develop their capacity.





These applicants will be expected to collect, analyse and interpret quality data and contextual information across the 2 components to identify schools that require targeted support. They will manage key portfolios of the project’s 2 key components, including allocating resources and support to schools. They will also liaise extensively with school staff, specialist staff, other government agencies and community providers.

This position involves regular travel to remote schools and regional communities. Travel is a significant requirement of the role and will involve periods away from home. Applicants should consider their capacity to undertake frequent travel when considering applying for the role.
