Join our team as a Primary Teacher - Specialist / Supernumerary at St Patrick's Catholic School, Winton.

We’re looking for a passionate and dedicated Primary Teacher - Specialist / Supernumerary with tertiary qualifications and registration (or eligibility) with the Queensland College of Teachers.

In this unique and multi-faceted role, you will deliver vibrant Specialist programs in Arts, Technology, and HPE, while providing vital Supernumerary cover (releasing classroom teachers for planning and non-contact time) and ad-hoc internal relief. Joining a supportive team of dedicated educators, you'll work closely with colleagues and families to ensure continuity of learning across primary year levels. Your ability to adapt, engage, and nurture a diverse range of learners will help create a positive environment where every student feels included and valued.

In your classroom, you’ll spark curiosity and a love of learning by designing engaging lessons, setting clear expectations, and continually reflecting on your practice to keep improving. You’ll use a range of assessment tools to understand each student’s progress, celebrate their growth, and give meaningful feedback that helps them thrive.

Guided by Catholic values, you’ll embrace the school’s mission, prioritise student safety and wellbeing, and help create a welcoming, supportive environment where every learner feels they belong.

In the heart of Queensland’s outback, Winton is a place of big skies, rich history, and unforgettable landscapes.

Surrounded by red-earth plains and just a short drive from the dramatic jump-ups of the outback, Winton offers a true sense of adventure and the chance to make a meaningful impact in a welcoming regional community — a uniquely rewarding place to live and work.
