Ready to break free from the mainstream classroom? How about a teaching experience unlike any other?

Nawarddeken Academy in West Arnhem Land is calling for adventurous educators to join our supportive, bi-cultural learning environment. We’re an award-winning school that combines current best educational & leadership practices with First Nations cultural knowledge, creating an engaging and relevant classroom and bush learning experience that is truly one-of-a-kind.

Teaching couples are encouraged to apply, and we’d also love to hear from teachers whose partners are interested in working in a non-teaching role. We offer a range of opportunities across our communities, making this an exciting option for couples looking for a shared adventure.

As part of your application, we would appreciate if you could outline your strengths and experience in the following areas:

• Commitment to authentic bi-cultural education
• Experience as an EAL/D educator who has developed students’ literacy and numeracy skills using explicit teaching practices.
• Experience in learning from and working collaboratively in teaching teams with First Nations teachers in multi-age classrooms.
• Opportunities where you’ve shown initiative and delivered purposeful learning alongside creative problem solving.
• Experience teaching in remote communities / homelands.

Other requirements:

• Eligible teacher qualification and NT registration (TRBNT)
• Be an Australian or New Zealand citizen, permanent resident or have a valid visa with relevant work rights. Sponsorship is unavailable.
• Apply for a NT Ochre Card (Working with Children Check) before you start
