  • Relocation assistance and remote living benefits
  • Salary packaging and flexible working arrangements
  • Furnished housing and additional allowances for eligible remote roles
  • Ongoing professional development , study leave and mentoring support
  • Fast-tracked application process – hear from us within 48 hours of applying

What You’ll Do

  • Create inclusive, play-based and engaging learning experiences aligned with the Australian Curriculum
  • Foster children’s curiosity, confidence and wellbeing through early learning
  • Build strong, positive relationships with students, families, and communities
  • Assess, monitor and report on student progress
  • Contribute to culturally responsive and community-driven education
  • Who We’re Looking For

    We welcome applications from qualified Early Childhood Teachers (or those soon to graduate) who are :

  • Registered or eligible for registration with the Teacher Registration Board NT
  • Able to obtain a Working with Children Clearance (Ochre Card) – the cost will be covered / reimbursed.
  • Passionate about giving every child the best possible start to their education
  • Your Next Step
