Teacher - Science

Overview

We are seeking to establish a pool of Science Teachers for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2026 school year. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.

Bob Hawke College in Subiaco opened in February 2020 as the first high-density public secondary college in Western Australia.

We understand the importance of looking after the well-being of the whole child. Every student at our College will be well known and valued. Our pastoral care approach has been specifically designed to support young adults. Specialist staff provide students with individual support as well as health and wellbeing programs. All our teaching and essential services staff excel in their profession and inspire and motivate students, encouraging them to take responsibility for themselves, for others and for the world around them.

The Role

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

Applicants will ideally be motivated, possessing the ability to teach secondary Science and would be knowledgeable of the Western Australian Curriculum. As a science teacher, you would deliver a differentiated curriculum that meets the needs of all students and have an expectation that all students can reach their potential. Ideally, you will be a teacher who aspires for academic excellence and is committed to high quality teaching and learning. Experience in teaching Chemistry or Physics will be valued, but is not a requirement.

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. You should build positive relationships with students and be passionate about creating positive futures for students.
