Looking for the kind of teaching role where the small moments can become the biggest wins? At Caboolture Special School, teaching is about so much more than delivering curriculum. It is about helping a student find their voice. Building confidence and independence. Celebrating progress that might look completely different for every student. And getting to know your students well enough to understand just how significant those moments can be. 🌱 Caboolture Special School is looking for teachers who want to be part of a supportive and collaborative school community where Respect, Growth and Belonging sit at the heart of the work.

Find the role that works for you

We're currently looking for teachers interested in working across both the primary and secondary areas of the school.

And there is flexibility.

✨ Looking for full-time? Let's talk.
✨ Prefer part-time? We'd still love to hear from you.
✨ Passionate about younger learners? Tell us.
✨ Prefer working with older students? Let us know.

The school is genuinely willing to work with successful applicants around their preferred year levels and working fraction, wherever possible.

That flexibility means you don't necessarily need to fit yourself into one predetermined vacancy. We want to understand where you do your best work and what might make this role work for you.

Never worked in a special school before?

Please don't let that stop you from applying.

You might already be an experienced special education teacher, but you could also be:

• a primary teacher who loves differentiation and building strong relationships
• a secondary teacher looking for a different way to use your teaching skills
• an early career teacher interested in developing specialist experience
• a teacher returning to the classroom and looking for part-time work
• someone who has always wondered whether special education might be for them

If you're patient, adaptable, collaborative and genuinely curious about how individual students learn, you may already have many of the qualities that make a great special education teacher.
