Casual, with the prospect of becoming permanent part time, commencing September 2025

Hale School is seeking applications for the casual position of Campus Security Officer. The Campus Security Officer will work up to 37 hours per week, providing support services throughout the campus to maintain a safe and secure environment for the Hale School community and to support the efficient daily operations of the school.  

Hale School is Perth’s oldest boys’ school located on a 48-hectare site in Wembley Downs. The school has approximately 1620 boys from Pre Primary to Year 12. There are two boarding houses accommodating around 180 boys who live on campus during term time. Thirteen families live on site to provide support for the school’s day-to-day operations.
