At St Clare’s, our mission is to inspire and educate our students to become compassionate and responsible members of society. We strive to empower them with knowledge, skills and a strong moral compass, enabling them to make a positive impact on the world around them. By embracing our school motto, “Your light in our hands,” we recognise the importance of guiding and supporting our students as they shine their brightest, both academically and spiritually.

St Clare's Catholic Primary School is excited to offer this opportunity to an experienced or aspiring leader, the position of Learning Diversity Coach, starting the 2027 school year. The Learning Diversity Coach attracts a 2 year contract with an ongoing teaching position attached. While fulltime is preferred, F/T (0.8) is negotiable.

The Learning Diversity Leader leads the development of an inclusive learning environment in which every student accesses, participates in and benefits from high-quality universal instruction. The role promotes the belief that all students can learn and that inclusive practice begins with effective Tier 1 teaching, where evidence-informed instruction, differentiation, scaffolding and reasonable adjustments enable all learners to engage with the curriculum.

Working in partnership with the Deputy Principal - Learning and Teaching Coach, Learning and Teaching Instruction Coach, teachers, Wellbeing and PBL leadership, families and external professionals, the Learning Diversity Leader strengthens teacher capacity to anticipate and respond to diverse learning needs within the learning space.



The role coordinates targeted Tier 2 interventions and individualised Tier 3 support when required, ensuring these supports complement, reinforce and build upon strong universal instruction.

Through the school's Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), the Learning Diversity Leader ensures that additional support enhances access to learning rather than becoming a substitute for effective teaching, enabling every student to be known, valued, challenged and empowered to flourish.

The Learning Diversity Coach will be responsible for ensuring the ongoing collection of evidence of adjustments to meet NCCD requirements, and maintaining a high degree of confidentiality. As a member of staff, the Learning Diversity Coach will be responsible for developing respectful, team-oriented relationships to contribute to a positive school climate and culture.
