What Matters Most

At Carey, teaching is deeply relational.

Our Relief Teachers are more than classroom supervisors. They are educators who bring consistency, encouragement, and professionalism into classrooms while building positive relationships with students and staff alike.

The right person will bring warmth, confidence, flexibility, and the ability to quickly establish calm, respectful, and engaging learning environments across a variety of year levels and settings.

• Delivering planned learning experiences across a range of Primary year levels
• Maintaining calm, positive, and productive classroom environments
• Supporting student engagement, participation, and wellbeing throughout the school day
• Building positive and respectful relationships with students and colleagues
• Following lesson plans and school procedures confidently and professionally
• Providing clear communication and handover notes to classroom teachers
• Contributing positively to the wider school community during relief engagements
