Job Description

Full Time Science Teacher (Middle School & Senior) – Term 4, 2026

n

Horizons College of Learning and Enrichment – Caboolture QLD

n

Join a school where relationships come first.

n

Horizons College is an independent Special Assistance School based in Caboolture. We support young people for whom mainstream education has not been meaningful, providing small class sizes, individualised support and a learning environment built on respect, structure and genuine care.

n

We are seeking expressions of interest for one full-time Science Teacher for Term 4, 2026, with teaching responsibilities across both middle school (Years 7–9) and senior years (Years 10–12 Science in Practice).

n

For the right candidate, there is a genuine chance for this contract to extend into 2027.

n

Why Horizons?

n

n
- Small class sizes that allow you to truly know your students
n
- A strong emphasis on staff and student wellbeing
n
- A collaborative team culture where your voice is valued
n
- Access to quality professional development
n
- Leadership that supports initiative and professional growth
n
- A trauma-informed, relationship-centred approach to behaviour and learning
n

n

About the Role

n

This role involves delivering Science across both the middle and senior phases of learning. Science is a hands-on, applied subject — and at Horizons, that practical focus aligns perfectly with how we teach: explicitly, purposefully,



and always with the student in mind.

n

At Horizons, our teachers:

n

n
- Build strong, respectful relationships with students
n
- Deliver differentiated programmes to support diverse learning needs
n
- Work closely with wellbeing and support staff
n
- Maintain high expectations within consistent, predictable routines
n
- Understand that behaviour communicates need — not defiance
n

n

This is a position for an educator who believes that science can be a powerful vehicle for engagement, curiosity and confidence — especially for young people who have not always felt successful at school.

n

About You

n

To thrive in this role, you will demonstrate:

n

n
- Current QLD Teacher Registration
n
- Confidence teaching Science, with experience or strong interest in Science in Practice
n
- The ability to deliver practical, hands-on learning in a structured and safe environment
n
- An ability to differentiate learning for a wide range of abilities and year levels
n
- Strong relational classroom management skills
n
- A commitment to contributing positively to a collaborative team
n

n

Experience in a Special Assistance School or alternative setting is advantageous but not essential. What matters most is that you bring genuine care, high expectations, and a belief that every student is capable of growth.
