Student Learning Support Officer (SLSO)

Full-time - permanent role

About us

At Warakirri College, we educate young people aged 15–22 who have disengaged from mainstream schooling—often due to anxiety, depression, or social disadvantage. Our students are capable, curious, and resilient. They simply need the right environment and dedicated, passionate educators and support staff to thrive.

We have campuses in Blacktown, Campbelltown, Fairfield, and a newly opened Redfern site, with more campuses planned to open shortly. We also have a Distance Education program.
