Job description

This is a permanent full-time position commencing Term 1, 2027 Located in Moora, only 172 kms north of Perth, Central Midlands Senior High School (SHS) is a vibrant educational community, offering a wide range of academic and vocational subjects for approximately 220 students from Year 7 to Year 12. Students at Central Midlands SHS are motivated to strive to achieve their best and to realise their potential in a values-rich environment. All students have access to innovative, flexible pathways for learning. One major attraction of the school is the small class sizes: a low student-to-staff ratio ensures plenty of individual attention and assistance, both in and out of the classroom.

The Role

The successful applicant will ideally be an innovative and creative teacher who caters for student diversity through effective classroom practices. They should be flexible and adaptable, applying differentiated instruction and explicit teaching strategies across all year levels. A commitment to high expectations and excellence, the ability to use a range of pedagogies, and the capacity to establish and maintain a positive classroom learning environment are also important. Working in collaboration with the Curriculum Manager and Lead Teacher for Mathematics, you will ideally lead ongoing improvements in pedagogy, curriculum and programming across Years 7 to 10, and support the mathematics learning area to achieve set targets in the School Business Plan. As the successful applicant, you should possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills. You should be 'relationships focused' and committed to building a positive, inclusive and safe classroom that promotes in students a genuine passion for physical health and wellbeing and the successful achievement of outcomes. In this role you have the opportunity to work as part of a collegiate whole school team and be solutions focussed. You will ideally work collaboratively with your colleagues and use evidence based decision-making skills to ensure curriculum improvement is paramount.
