A GREAT PLACE TO LEARN

The Younity School is Moreton Bay's independent special assistance middle school, supporting students in Years 7 to 9 to reengage in education and rediscover their love of learning. Since opening in 2024, we've built a reputation for inclusive, inspiring and safe classrooms where students thrive.

We now have a unique opportunity for an experienced candidate to lead our team of Education Support Officers/ Teacher Aides and build how education support works in our special assistance school. This role is permanent, full-time, 52 weeks a year, starting Term 1, 2027.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Education Support Lead is central to how support works in every classroom at our school. You will lead and line manage our team of Education Support Officers, work with the Head of School to shape what the ESO role looks like at TYS, and make sure ESOs and teachers work well together in each class. As a member of the School Management Team, you will bring the education support perspective to whole-school planning and decisions.

You will be responsible for the systems the ESO team relies on each day, including medication procedures, duty rosters, transitions back into class and the recording of student adjustments. Additionally, you will lead the rollout of a structured reading intervention program delivered by ESOs.

This is a non-teaching role, so your focus is on building a strong, well-supported team and making sure every student gets consistent, high-quality support.

- Stays calm and organised when the day changes quickly

- Is fair and direct, and has honest conversations with care

- Builds trust easily with staff, students and families

- Leads by example and brings out the best in others





- Is practical and enjoys making things work better

- Brings warmth and a good sense of humour to their work

- Ongoing professional development

- Hybrid working available during school holiday periods

- Room to grow as we expand to Years 5 and 6 by 2029

If you have at least two years' experience in an education lead or coordinator role, knowledge of trauma-informed practice, and a genuine desire to support students to engage successfully in their learning, we'd love to hear from you.
