The Role

Hampton SHS is seeking passionate and dynamic English Teachers to join our dedicated team. This role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on student outcomes. In addition to strong English generalist teachers, we are also looking for an experienced teacher with a particular focus on literacy development and/or English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EALD) to teach in our highly effective intervention programs. We are also looking for an experienced teacher of ECU Uniprep. The ECU Uniprep course may require the additional capability in delivering the Maths unit in the course. Teachers with the experience teaching Australian Tertiary Admission Ranking (ATAR) English and/or ATAR EALD would also be highly desirable.

As a member of our team, you will ideally be a conscientious, flexible and innovative educator who is committed to the development of the whole student. You will hopefully be actively involved within both the school and wider community, highly reflective of your teaching practices, and dedicated to evidence-based decision making and differentiation.

Suitable applicants should be motivated and engaging teachers of secondary English, with a strong understanding of the Western Australian Curriculum. You will deliver a differentiated curriculum that meets the needs of all students, including those requiring targeted literacy support and EALD strategies, and maintain high expectations for student achievement.

We are looking for teachers who are innovative and committed to high-quality teaching and learning, and who ideally bring creativity, rigour and inclusivity to their practice.

You will ideally possess strong communication, interpersonal and leadership skills, which will be used to develop and promote the school’s values, ethos and priorities across the school community. We hope to recruit teachers who value building positive relationships with students and be passionate about creating positive futures for all learners.
