Overview
Suitable applicants from recently advertised process DOE994424 need not apply.
Kimberley Schools Project is seeking to establish a pool of Program Coordinator – Targeted Teaching for permanent and fixed‐term, full‐time and part‐time vacancies that may arise during 2026 and up to the end of December 2026.
The Project is a collaborative partnership among the Department of Education, Catholic Education Western Australia, the Association of Independent Schools Western Australia and the Department of Regional Development and Primary Industries, designed to accelerate strategies to address low education outcomes in the Kimberley and underpin broader economic and social development.
Project Pillars
* Targeted Teaching – evidence‐based strategies, quality materials and frequent measurement of achievement.
* Early Years – community initiatives that build on and improve existing services and engage families as first teachers through the KindiLink initiative.
* Regular Attendance – community partnerships to deliver strategies that respond to drivers of non‐attendance.
* Community Engagement – development of extended learning programs and initiatives with coaching for school leaders and teachers.
This pool of Program Coordinators will primarily address the Targeted Teaching pillar.
Role Locations
Roles will be based in Broome, Kununurra or Fitzroy Crossing.
Responsibilities
Suitable applicants will demonstrate exemplary teaching practice and a deep understanding of explicit instruction. They will model effective instruction, primarily in Kindergarten to Year 2, and may support and coach teachers in Years 3–10. An understanding of data‐driven practice and the ability to help teachers analyze and unpack data sets is advantageous.
The Coordinator will provide instructional coaching, requiring high interpersonal skills and the ability to build trusting relationships with teachers from diverse backgrounds. The role involves travel to remote school communities.
Applicants should also demonstrate their understanding of how all four pillars interrelate and how their skill set adds value to the Project. A willingness to assist in the design and delivery of professional learning is desirable.
