Role description
At Somerville House, we empower students to be architects of their futures. As a leading day and boarding school for girls, we are proud of our strong academic tradition and even prouder of the confident, capable and compassionate young women we support through their learning journey.
We are seeking an outstanding and passionate Senior Teacher of English to join our team from 10 August 2026 (Term 3, Week 5).
Why Join Us?
Somerville House is a vibrant, future-focused school located in the heart of Brisbane, offering outstanding education from Pre-Prep to Year 12. Our students thrive in a dynamic learning environment where academic care, wellbeing and opportunity sit at the centre of all we do.

While involvement in the IBDP is not a requirement for this role, we actively support staff who are interested in professional learning across both pathways.
