An exciting opportunity awaits for an engaging and adaptable Secondary Teacher at a small, community-led school in the Kimberley. This role is ideal for an educator eager to embrace new experiences while making a meaningful impact.

The community has a clinic, a Health and Aged Care (HAC) kitchen and office, community store, football oval and basketball courts.

This is a full-time position for 2026. Having your own vehicle is strongly recommended. Possibility of employment for partners. There is also a kindergarten, pre-primary, Year 1/2 and Year 5/6 position available.
