Psychology Teacher Faith Lutheran College

JOB DESCRIPTION

The Opportunity

Are you frustrated with working in an industrial model of schooling? Are you tired of schools sprouting phrases like contemporary innovation and 21st century learning skills, but nothing is different? And, we are over 20 years into the 21st Century! 

At Faith we believe that nothing will change unless leadership, structures and processes enable and support teachers to move towards a new way of doing school.

Our campus is situated in a beautiful rural setting in the heart of the Lockyer Valley. We are located only 1-minute from the Warrego Highway, so it is a very easy commute from either Brisbane or Toowoomba.

 

About the role

We are seeking a passionate Psychology Teacher to join our team. The ability to teach additional subjects including Christian Studies would be highly regarded but is not essential.

For the right candidate we will offer full-time permanency.

You will be supported by a College Executive that is committed to “awakening potential and empowering learners for purposeful lives through Christ”.

Additionally, the leadership has made College wide changes to support a new way of learning:

  • De-siloed all subject areas including curriculum leadership
  • Simplified secondary timetable across all year levels
  • All day Wednesday program focused on wellbeing, student advocacy, exploration of student led passion projects, etc.

The College has implemented a “stage” not “age” model of schooling across Year 7 to 12 (no year levels between Years 9 to 12). 

With such innovative changes we need teachers who can “dream big” and have the requisite traits such as tenacity, passion, tolerance of ambiguity, confidence, vision and flexibility. 

 

How to Apply

At Faith we value the explicit development of the full range of contemporary learning and work skills in our students to prepare them for an ever-changing world. If you would like to join a team of dedicated professionals who are relentless in their passion to change the world through education, please submit your application via Seek and include:

  • Curriculum Vitae
  • Contact details for two professional referees

We encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible, as Interviews will be conducted when suitable applications are received.
