Learning Enhancement Teacher – Flexible Learning Centre (Senior Years)
Salary Range:$93,000 – $131,000 + allowances
Type of School:
Secondary College, Urban (Northern Territory)
Contract Type:
Full-time, 12 months with view for permanency after 6 months
Start:
As close to the 14th of July 2025
This role is for you if…
You’re the kind of teacher who sees
the student before the behaviour. You’re calm in the face of chaos, firm but compassionate, and deeply curious about how young people learn - especially those who’ve had a tough road. You know that teaching literacy sometimes means going back to phonics and doing it with patience, respect, and cultural awareness. You believe in fresh starts and second chances.
If you're ready to teach senior students (Years 10–12) in a flexible, offsite learning space where every day is different — and every connection counts — this is your opportunity.
About the Program
This isn’t a mainstream classroom. You’ll be part of a team of three, working with up to 15 students (about 7 attend regularly), many of whom are Aboriginal young people. Some are transitioning back from detention or re-engaging after significant trauma. Behaviour can be complex, but the environment is built on Positive Behaviour and restorative practices — not suspension (unless in cases of violence or aggression).
You’ll deliver targeted, high-impact literacy support, focusing on building confidence and capability in adolescents who may not have experienced much success in school. You’ll have the freedom to ask the right questions, track progress with data, and shape your approach to suit the learner, not the other way around.
What We’re Looking For
We’re not after someone perfect. We’re looking for someone real.
You’ll need:
-
A background in literacy support, EALD, special education, or adolescent learning
-
Confidence working independently and collaboratively
-
A calm, relational approach to behaviour
-
The willingness to learn from students, listen deeply, and show up with consistency
-
Strong knowledge of phonics, reading strategies, and how to differentiate for a range of literacy levels in senior students
