Are you a dynamic, innovative, culturally responsive teacher?
Do you have the interest and desire to develop expertise in teaching online?
Are you looking for flexible work arrangements, including the opportunity to work from regional centres or from home?
Take your teaching career online and join us as we enhance access and create a brighter future for students across Western Australia!
We are seeking to establish a pool of Science teachers for appointments to permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies that may arise during the 2024 school year. We anticipate at least one permanent appointment will be made from this pool before the end of the 2024 school year.
At the School of Isolated and Distance Education (SIDE), we offer a range of lower secondary and senior secondary Science courses. The capacity to teach one or more of ATAR Biology, ATAR Human Biology and ATAR Psychology will be highly regarded, but we are looking for teachers with strong knowledge of and proven success in teaching the Science curriculum to a variety of student cohorts at all year levels. Suitable applicants will have excellent interpersonal skills and will be skilled in the use of diagnostic and student performance data to inform teaching and learning programs.
SIDE is a cutting-edge online school that provides a high level of education to children who need additional flexibility. We play a critical role within the Western Australian education system, supporting system needs and priorities. As a teacher with SIDE, you will have the opportunity to reach out and make a difference to students throughout Western Australia, delivering high-quality online and blended education programs to suit the varying contexts and needs of our students.
We are looking to expand our workforce of dedicated teachers by trialling a new pilot program during 2024 that will allow some of our teachers flexible home-based working arrangements to deliver education online to students across the state. Therefore, teachers in regional areas are also encouraged to apply to this pool.

As a recognised leader in blended education in Australia, SIDE models exemplary practice in the use of both synchronous (Webex) and asynchronous (Moodle) platforms of instruction. SIDE has a dedicated training and support program for staff who join our school. Our practice is both contemporary and constantly evolving, making SIDE an exciting and dynamic place to work.
Teachers at SIDE participate in our regional travel program to meet the needs of students and partner schools. Visits are planned in negotiation with staff, and at times may include short-term stays in regional and remote locations.
Join our innovative school community and be a part of shaping the future of education!
