Position Descriptor:
Wanted: Literary Legend & Humanities Hero!

Balaklava High School is on the hunt for a passionate English & HASS teacher to join our vibrant team - part educator, part storyteller, and full-time champion of culture. Just 55 minutes from Adelaide, we offer brilliant students, a supportive staff culture, and modern facilities - the Blockbuster Trilogy of country schools.

If you can make Shakespeare as binge-worthy as Netflix, turn essays into quests as epic as The Lord of the Rings, spark debates hotter than a Survivor tribal council, and bring history to life with the twists of Hamilton (singing optional but encouraged), this could be your next adventure. Bonus points for a clever Jane Austen burn while fixing grammar.

Why BHS?

- Creative students (some already write essays longer than A Song of Ice and Fire)

- Supportive, down-to-earth team that values collaboration, laughs, and the occasional pun

- Modern resources that make teaching more Marvel than mayhem

- Leadership that champions ideas & professional growth

- Country lifestyle - fresh air, zero traffic, & community spirit

You'll be:

- Delivering engaging lessons without letting the red pen win

- Helping students craft arguments sharper than Katniss Everdeen's aim

- Exploring stories, history, & cultures that spark curiosity & laughter





- Creating a safe & inclusive classroom

Whether you're a seasoned teacher or a fresh grad ready to start your hero's journey, BHS could be the perfect stage for your next chapter. So, red pen ready. Books open. Hit apply - and bring your passion for stories, ideas, & a touch of literary mischief to our school!

When applying, please submit your resume and responses to the questions:
1. An example of how you've built robust professional relationships to support learners.
2. A time you empowered students with agency in shaping their learning & the outcome.
3. Why BHS? What will you bring to inspire our school community?

Please note that part time and flexible arrangements will be considered.
