About Youth+
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 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.
St Joseph's Catholic Flexible Learning Centre is a coeducational Catholic school in the Edmund Rice tradition under the EREA Youth+ Central West Flexi Schools Network. It has a clear commitment to social justice and stands in solidarity with disenfranchised young people of all social, cultural and religious backgrounds, with a particular sensitivity to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. The school provides holistic learning experiences that address the complex needs of students and promotes their emotional, cognitive, spiritual and academic development.
About the Opportunity
EREA Youth+ now has multiple exciting and rewarding opportunities for Teachers to join the team at St Joseph's Catholic Flexible Learning Centre in Alice Springs. These are full-time contract positions commencing January, 2020.
Reporting to the Co-Campus Principals and the Network Principal, this role will see you responsible for implementing teaching strategies that cater to the needs of secondary-aged students who have disengaged from mainstream education, encouraging a learning experience which provides students with the opportunity to achieve their individual potential.
You will be responsible for developing and maintaining learning and social inclusion responses of the campus, including:
- Planning, preparation and delivery of engaging learning and teaching programs for young people in both middle and senior phases of secondary education;
- Contributing to the development and implementation of the FLC’s objectives and planning; and
- Contributing to the establishment and maintenance of a supportive school environment.
These positions will operate both onsite and offsite programs that enable young people to participate in a wide range of learning activities within the local community. You'll work with highly disengaged young people, some who have had on-going contact with Youth Justice and often have significant gaps in education and low school attendance, in order to prepare them for transitioning to site to continue their education.
About You
To be considered for one of these positions you must hold relevant tertiary qualifications in Teaching, and be eligible for registration with the Northern Territory Teacher Registration Board. Experience in either primary or secondary education will be essential (2-5 years minimum), while any experience working within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Communities will be highly regarded.
The ability to develop and implement a range of engaging, flexible learning programs focusing on improving educational and wellbeing outcomes to meet the needs of secondary aged young people is a requirement of this role.
Due to the nature of the role, it's important you have had demonstrated success in building relationships with disenfranchised young people and their families. Well-developed interpersonal skills in relation to collaborating with colleagues, young people and parents in a cross-cultural environment will also be required.
Although not essential, any specialist areas such as adventure based learning, STEM teaching and/or special education would be looked upon favourably.
For more information, please see the position description.

This is a fantastic opportunity to become involved in a multidisciplinary and supportive workplace while reaping the incredible rewards that arise from the challenges faced day to day. You will see the direct impact you've made on young people's educational journey during your time with EREA Youth+, and will enjoy a long-lasting and extremely gratifying career.
In return for your hard work and dedication, you will be rewarded with an attractive remuneration circa $75,000 - $105,000, based on your experience level (in line with the Catholic Schools (Northern Territory) Collective Enterprise Agreement 2018-2021) plus super.
In addition, EREA Youth+ also provides ongoing professional development opportunities.
