Position Overview

We are seeking dedicated and passionate Geography Teacher (Secondary) to join our dynamic team. However, teachers with experience in other subject areas are also encouraged to apply. These are full time, ongoing positions, commencing preferably in November 2026. Applicants must have full Australian work rights.

The Gippsland campus aligns with Tanglin Singapore’s calendar which runs on the Northern Hemisphere school year schedule. Additionally, the campus operates on a modified 7 day a week timetable, offering students mainstream subjects while, at times, utilising the great outdoors and beautiful Victorian Alps as a classroom. This will provide the opportunity to produce exciting schemes of work that bring inquiry and rigor to the fore. The curriculum is experiential in nature, requiring teachers to be brave in combining classwork with the outdoors and bringing the best out in all students because of a deliberately cutting-edge pedagogy.

Due to the nature of the campus and its residential programme, teachers are expected to live on campus to help provide around-the-clock care and supervision of students.

Tanglin is mindful of its responsibilities as an employer, and rosters will ensure appropriate breaks, rest periods and term holidays to help maintain a healthy work-life balance. When not teaching or involved in duties or activities staff can be at home or off-site.
