PARTNERS FOR SUCCESS IDENTIFIED INDIGENOUS SCHOOLS RECRUITMENT & SELECTION Do you have a strong commitment to….
The Partners for Success Identified Indigenous Schools Recruitment strategy aims to attract interested teachers and experienced educators who are keen to undertake a challenge, have a strong background in teaching and a passion to make a difference by living and working in a remote Indigenous context. There are 39 Identified Indigenous schools across Queensland in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities the schools range from Prep -7, Prep -10 and Prep -12 and have a specific focus on providing quality teaching in the provision of a state-wide standard of education and training for all students. Under the Partners for Success Strategy teachers interested in teaching in Identified Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Schools throughout the state are asked to apply through a selection process. Applicants are encouraged to thoroughly research the teaching opportunities and contact Education Queensland staff to gain the latest information (details at the end of this page). RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION PROCESS Recruitment visits are made to targeted Districts across the state and Universities. Please contact listed staff below to find out when there is a visit to your school/ District. Our strategy focuses on identifying teachers who have expertise, skills, interests and experiences particularly in relation to working across different cultures, and that they work well as part of a team and in partnership with a range of sectors / groups. An ability to adhere to school and community protocols is also a pre-requisite. A panel consisting of Education Queensland, Queensland Teachers’ Union, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members meet on a regular basis to assess applications. The selection process responds to your details and preferences on this application form and referee report/s from your current supervising Principal. The Panel has the option of an informal discussion with referees by phone or by written Referee Report. Current supervising Principal referees are contacted as part of the process, not applicants themselves. OPPORTUNITIES FOR EXPERIENCED TEACHERS For permanent teachers vacancies in Identified Indigenous Schools are filled under the Teacher Transfer Guidelines and Partners for Success selection and or the Remote Area Relieving Placements (for Senior and experienced Teachers - RARP). Remote Area Relieving Placement arrangements will be for a period of up to 24 months. At the completion of that period, placement participants are guaranteed a return to their former school location. http://iwww.qed.qld.gov.au/workdept/hr/recruit/remplace.htm Applicants from a range of teaching backgrounds, experiences and qualifications are invited to apply.
