Job details

Make a Big Impact in a Small School!

We're seeking passionate teachers to join our team in several rural and remote schools across Queensland. If you're excited about the prospect of teaching in close-knit communities and building lasting relationships with students and their families, we want to hear from you!

Why Choose a Rural or Remote Queensland School?

🌄 Experience the Beauty of Rural Life: Live and work in some of the most stunning and peaceful locations Queensland has to offer. Enjoy wide-open spaces, fresh air, and a slower pace of life, all while being surrounded by breathtaking landscapes.

🌟 Smaller Schools, Bigger Impact: In our rural and remote schools, you'll have the chance to interact with students across all year levels, giving you the ability to connect with each student on a deeper level. With fewer students, you can personalize your teaching, support individual needs, and witness their growth and progress firsthand.

🤝 Build Strong Relationships: One of the most rewarding aspects of working in a smaller location is the ability to create meaningful, long-lasting relationships with both students and the wider community. As a teacher in a close-knit school, you'll not only teach but also be an integral part of the community, helping shape the future of the next generation.

💡 Professional Growth & Development: Rural and remote teaching offers unique opportunities to expand your skills. You may have the chance to take on leadership roles, diversify your teaching experiences, and develop professionally in ways you wouldn't be able to in larger, urban schools.

🌈 Enjoy a Balanced Lifestyle: With a more relaxed pace of life, you'll have more time to explore the outdoors and engage with your local community. Enjoy a strong work-life balance that allows you to experience all the best parts of rural living.

💼 Attractive Benefits: In addition to a competitive salary, you may be entitled to relocation assistance and housing support, all designed to help you settle into your new role and community with ease.
