Jobbeschreibung

Know how to make learning fun while maintaining boundaries? Love contributing to a culture of inclusivity and a sense of belonging?

Crave smaller class sizes, manageable hours and generous remuneration? If this is you and you are a primary or secondary school-trained registered teacher passionate about re‑engaging students with learning, we would like to meet you. Recent growth means that we have a vacant position at our Gosford campus. Graduates through to highly experienced teachers are welcome to apply.

In 2026 our first year out salary for a 4 or 5 year trained teacher is $117,092 and $121,358 base plus superannuation, respectively, and this increases with experience to the top of the scale at $131,925. As we are a registered charity you can also take advantage of our generous salary packaging to boost your take home pay.

Our highly experienced teaching team is supported by a Head of School, Assistant Heads of School, Learning Assistants, and Senior/Welfare Officers.

Indie School provides students the opportunity to learn in a supportive environment using individualised learning and education plans, tailored to each student's own education and life circumstances. Smaller class sizes allow students greater opportunity to identify their strengths and work to improve areas in which they lack confidence.

The greatest difference between Indie School and many other alternative education settings is that our foundations lie in Adult Education philosophies. Choice, independence, mutual respect and accountability all have a significant role to play. In return for higher levels of self‑responsibility, the students can enjoy some greater freedoms.

Our shared mission is to respond to the learning needs of Australian communities in a positive manner, underpinned by strong corporate governance and financial management. Our core values of Respect,Innovation,Self Development, and Teamwork underpin every aspect of our work.
