Primary and Secondary Teachers – Remote (Central) Northern Territory
Salary Range: $91,000–$131,000 + allowances + relocation + housing
Type of School: Remote NT Government School (Central)
Contract Type: 6-month or 12-month fixed term with possible extension
Start: Term 3, 2025 (or by negotiation)
About the School
HARKE has partnered with a highly regarded remote Northern Territory school located approximately 2.5 hours from Alice Springs. The school offers a stable, supportive, and collaborative teaching team where educators work closely together in a small, trusted environment. The team here have been in place for 6+ years, and the school’s structure allows for strong relationships, clear routines, and meaningful engagement with the local community. Staff benefit from a highly organised setting, professional autonomy, and a close-knit culture that values mutual respect, personal wellbeing, and shared responsibility.
About the Position
The school is seeking two teachers to join the team, one primary and one secondary, to deliver the Australian Curriculum in a small, multi-age setting. The reason the positions are available is because the Principal, who has been here for +10 years, is going on study leave for 12 months, and movement in the team allows for 2 teachers to join. This is an exciting opportunity as both roles will work closely with Aboriginal team teachers, with a strong focus on student engagement, consistency, and community relationships. This is a rare opportunity to be part of a well-established, supportive remote school with a highly collaborative team.
Who We Are Looking For
