The Role

We are actively seeking Early Childhood Education, Primary and Secondary Teachers who will support our school’s vision to provide quality education to our students. Suitable applicants would be teaching in a diverse educational setting and will ideally have expertise in multi age planning and explicit teaching practices. The ability to quickly establish a positive and welcoming classroom environment with high expectations and a growth mindset, while building students’ social and emotional skills, would be highly regarded.

Schools in the Remote Teaching Service are located in some of the most isolated parts of the State. They may be in community settings or small towns, and the majority of students are from local Aboriginal families. They deliver flexible and innovative education programs to ensure students in remote areas have access to high quality learning programs.

Teaching in a remote school offers a range of professional opportunities for teachers who are engaging and resilient. If you are flexible and like working as part of a team you have the opportunity to be part of this innovative learning community. Skills and interests in literacy, numeracy and English as an additional language/dialect (EAL/D) are highly valued.

Teachers who live and work in the remote teaching service tell us that it makes them better teachers, and better people. The Department of Education also supports our teachers by providing a range of additional allowances and benefits.
