About Youth+ & FAME
Edmund Rice Education Australia Youth+ (EREA Youth+) is a network of flexible learning centres that offer young people an opportunity to reconnect with education in a setting that is non-judgemental, inclusive and flexible. With a focus on literacy and numeracy, all programming and learning activities are developed based on young people’s individual learning plans which are customised based on learning levels and what they require to re-engage.
FAME Flexible Learning Centre (FAME) is a Catholic school steeped in the Edmund Rice tradition. FAME first began as a mobile service in the southern suburbs of Adelaide for young people from complex backgrounds who had disengaged from mainstream schooling. FAME creates a setting where young people can access a safe environment, experience a high level of wellbeing and receive educational support to help them achieve outcomes in their Personal Learning Plans (PLP). FAME aims to re-engage young people who have either disengaged with their schooling or who are looking to access a different model to mainstream schooling with the chance to access a variety of activities including music, physical fitness, art, catering/hospitality and other engaging options.
FAME now operates across two Onkaparinga council youth centres, the Wardli Youth Centre, Christie Downs and Base 10 Youth Centre, Reynella. FAME works within the four Youth+ principles (Respect, Participation, Honesty, and Safe and Legal), and invites staff and young people onto a “common ground” where everyone has a voice in making decisions and establishing working agreements to foster a positive environment where young people can achieve positive educational and wellbeing outcomes.
About the Opportunity
EREA Youth+ now has two fulfilling and challenging opportunities for pragmatic and passionate Teachers to join the team at FAME Flexible Learning Centre, one on a full-time basis and one on a part-time three day per week basis.
Reporting to the Head of Campus and the Network Principal, these roles will see you responsible for implementing teaching strategies that cater to the needs of secondary-aged students who have disengaged from mainstream education and may have learning delays or complex learning issues, encouraging a learning experience which provides students with the opportunity to achieve their individual potential.

- Collaborating with teachers and youth workers to develop and implement learning plans for each young person that include literacy and numeracy development;
- Supporting young people to access support services such as counselling, health support and community activities;
- Working with the team to develop cultural links, community and family connections which support the engagement and connection of young people to both the FLC and the wider community;
- Collaborating with the team to support a socially inclusive program that responds to the physical, intellectual, social, spiritual and cultural needs of young people; and
- Participating in the daily routines and activities of the FLC, including morning meetings, lunch, bus pick-up and drop-offs, electives, outings and camps.
