New to Catholic schools? Our guide to teaching in Catholic schools covers RE accreditation, the diocesan system, pay, and how applications differ from government roles.
Role description
We're excited to introduce Auslan as part of our specialist learning program in 2027 and we're looking for someone passionate about the language and Deaf culture to help us make it something special.
Initial fixed-term appointment, subject to applicable employment requirements, with potential for ongoing employment.
You don't necessarily need to be a qualified teacher to apply. We're interested in hearing from both VIT-registered teachers with Auslan proficiency and fluent Auslan users who could work collaboratively with a registered teacher to deliver the program.
At St Kevin's, we believe teaching is an act of love. We are a Christ-centred Catholic school where children, families and staff are known, welcomed and supported to thrive. Our community is proudly multicultural, grounded in love, service and respect.
Why St Kevin's?
- A chance to create something meaningful: Help establish an engaging, inclusive Auslan program that can grow with our school.
- Language and culture together: Share not only Auslan but also an appreciation of Deaf culture, identity and community.
- Evidence with heart: We value purposeful, effective teaching while recognising that relationships, creativity and joy are central to learning.
- Belonging: Join a warm, diverse community where differences are celebrated and every person has something valuable to contribute.
- An opportunity to grow: We're looking to establish a successful, sustainable program, with the possibility of ongoing employment as it develops.
