Join our team as a Primary Teacher at St Joseph's Catholic School, Cloncurry

We’re seeking a passionate Primary Teacher with tertiary qualifications and Queensland College of Teachers registration (or eligibility) for a full-time fixed-term role concluding 4 December 2026.

In this unique role, you will join a supportive team of dedicated educators who work closely with families to create the best possible learning experience for every child. Your knowledge of contemporary teaching practices, combined with your ability to adapt and nurture a diverse range of learners, will ensure that each student feels included, valued, and confident throughout their educational journey.

In your classroom, you’ll spark curiosity and a love of learning by designing engaging lessons, setting clear expectations, and continually reflecting on your practice to keep improving. You’ll use a range of assessment tools to understand each student’s progress, celebrate their growth, and give meaningful feedback that helps them thrive.

Guided by Catholic values, you’ll embrace the school’s mission, prioritise student safety and wellbeing, and help create a welcoming, supportive environment where every learner feels they belong.

In the heart of north-west Queensland, Cloncurry is a true outback town with a proud history and a welcoming community. Surrounded by red-earth ranges and wide open country, it offers a life that’s rich in character and shaped by a strong sense of connection. From discovering the region’s pioneering heritage to exploring nearby rivers, gorges and rugged outback trails, Cloncurry offers a unique blend of adventure, history and community spirit - making it a memorable and rewarding place to live and work.
