Teaching opportunities

The Department of Education and Training needs high achieving and skilled professionals who are dedicated, enthusiastic, flexible and team-orientated to teach in our schools across Queensland. Teaching with the department provides an opportunity to pursue a fulfilling career while also meeting family, personal and lifestyle needs.

All offers of employment are vacancy driven and aim to match school needs with the expertise of applicants.

Each year, a significant number of teachers are offered temporary positions to accommodate the generous leave entitlements offered to permanent employees.

All teachers can increase their chances of employment by being willing to work in non-metropolitan areas, which can offer opportunities for valuable experience and advancement.

The department respects and recognises its teachers and their commitment to teaching through a range of rewards and benefits.

Best of all, if you are a qualified and committed teacher and you are prepared to take your skills where they are most needed, you could be teaching in no time. The flexible transfer policy opens new doors in new places.

The diversity of opportunities with the department is reflected in the experiences of our teachers.
