About The Role:

As an Accessibility Support Practitioner (ASP), you’ll provide in-class learning support to students with a broad range of learning access and support needs, including disability, mental health needs, neurodivergence, health conditions and other barriers to learning.

This is an educational support role focused on helping students engage in learning, build confidence and develop independence throughout their studies. This is not a personal care or behavioural support role. Instead, you’ll work alongside students in vocational education classrooms, helping reinforce learning, break down tasks, support engagement and encourage independence.

You’ll work across a range of vocational learning environments including trades, foundation studies and classroom-based programs, collaborating closely with educators and the Accessibility team.

These are casual opportunities with shifts typically available during teaching periods. While hours are not guaranteed, we aim to provide rosters well in advance wherever possible.
