About You
To be considered for any of these roles you must be a qualified Teacher with QLD Teacher Registration (or ability to obtain), and the ability to implement the school’s Christian values and philosophy in the classroom and other aspects of College life, to foster faith and deliver significant educational outcomes for students.
Successful candidates will possess the ability to utilise a variety of teaching resources to plan interesting units of study across subject areas, and will be competent in the use of technology within the classroom including relevant computer programs.
Applicants should be comfortable serving students from both high and low socio-economic backgrounds, a variety of cultural backgrounds, high achievers and those with learning difficulties. Strong interpersonal skills will also be essential, including the ability to effectively communicate, motivate and inspire students, and to develop effective working relationships with parents, senior management and staff.
Importantly, Kingsley College is seeking Teachers who are committed to regular professional development.
An applicant's religious belief is a genuine requirement of this role.
About the Benefits
This is an incredible opportunity to join a school dedicated to creating sustainable careers and workplaces for Teachers. Kingsley College understands the pressures and expectations upon Teachers, and makes a concerted effort to streamline processes and ensure you have the ability to focus your efforts on what matters most - teaching and your students. You'll be joining a supportive team, including a passionate and dedicated Principal who has been at the school for 13 years.
In return for your hard work and dedication, you will be rewarded with an attractive base salary circa $65,046 - $96,501 plus super and holiday loading, commensurate with your experience and qualifications.
Relocation assistance will be available if required, and Rockhampton offers many benefits as an attractive Regional City: great shopping and sporting facilities, only an hour's flight to Brisbane, and affordable housing with a short commute to work. It is also surrounded by natural beauty, with Mt Archer National Park, Great Keppel Island, and the famous Capricorn Coast close by.
All teachers at Kingsley College enjoy 2 paid development weeks. With a strong focus on personal and professional growth, you will also enjoy ongoing opportunities for training and further education with all expenses paid by the College, in addition to a clear career pathway ensuring you have adequate opportunity to grow and progress.
Furthermore, due to the smaller size of the College, you will benefit from an agile and adaptive workplace where you'll be encouraged to introduce innovative curriculum strategy. You'll have a strong voice acting as the head of your area of teaching, playing a key role in the development and future direction of your area. You'll enjoy autonomy and the ability to identify and implement school-wide improvements.
Most importantly, this is a genuinely rewarding career making a difference in the lives of children and families, and helping to close the gap in Indigenous education. Kingsley College is committed to offering education to those who may not otherwise be able to afford it, with the aim of assisting young people to move into stable jobs and/or higher education. You will be part of a transformative movement within the community.
