The Opportunity

St Francis of Assisi College is building a pool of Temporary Relief Teachers (TRT) to provide casual relief teaching across our Years 7–12 classes on an as‑needed basis from 2027.

As a TRT, you'll step in to cover classes at short notice, maintaining continuity of learning for our students across a variety of year levels.

This is a flexible opportunity to gain valuable classroom experience, build relationships within our College community, and be considered for future permanent or fixed-term positions as they arise.

You'll be contacted with relief opportunities as they come up, with the flexibility to accept assignments that suit your availability.

Key responsibilities include:

• Deliver pre-prepared lesson plans and maintain continuity of learning in the classroom teacher's absence
• Manage classroom behaviour and maintain a safe, positive learning environment
• Follow the College's routines, policies and procedures at short notice
• Provide clear handover notes and feedback to the classroom teacher and relevant staff
• Build positive, professional relationships with students and staff during each placement
• Maintain flexibility and professionalism across a variety of subjects and year levels

About You

We are seeking someone who:

• Relevant teaching qualification and current (or eligible) SA Teacher Registration Board registration
• Ability to adapt quickly to different classes, year levels and subject areas
• Strong classroom management and communication skills
• Reliable, flexible availability to respond to short-notice requests
• A collaborative approach and commitment to the Catholic ethos and values of the College
• A current Working With Children Check (or willingness to obtain one) and a commitment to child safety

St Francis of Assisi College is a College on the rise — small enough that you're known by name, and ambitious enough to offer real scope for professional growth as we build towards our full Year 7–12 offering.

• Backed by Catholic Education South Australia (CESA), with access to induction, professional learning and support networks across the sector
• A distinctive College culture built around our House System and Rowing Program, plus the Riverland's relaxed pace, riverside living and affordable cost of living
• A genuine pathway to future permanent or fixed-term teaching opportunities at a growing College

St Francis of Assisi College is a young and growing Years 7–12 Catholic secondary college in the heart of South Australia's Riverland region. Opened in 2022 and guided by our motto Growing in Harmony, we are inspired by the life of St Francis of Assisi and grounded in the theology of Integral Ecology — a deep respect for the dignity of every person, for community, and for the earth we share. Every student at Assisi is known, valued and welcomed, and our staff sit at the heart of that promise. As a College still finding its shape, we offer our people genuine opportunities to lead, innovate and build lasting traditions, within a close‑knit, mission‑driven community proud of its Catholic identity and its connection to the Riverland.

Catholic Education South Australiais committed to ensuring the safety, wellbeing and dignity of all children and young people. Screening requirements apply.
