About the role

Teach the whole child

At Christ the King, we believe that a healthy child is a confident, connected and capable learner. We are seeking a passionate Health specialist who sees every lesson, whether it's in the classroom, in the hall or in outdoor spaces, as an chance to grow students' bodies, minds and hearts.

This is a role for a teacher who understands that teamwork, resilience, fair play and self-awareness are learned through movement as much as through discussion, and who knows that great teaching is built on how students actually learn. If you want to teach Health and Physical Education in a way that builds the whole child, we would love to hear from you.

This is a combined role. You will spend part of your week as our Health and Wellbeing Specialist and two days a week as a classroom teacher, giving you the best of both worlds: the chance to lead a specialist program across the school, and the deep relationships and daily impact that come with your own class.

Graduates are warmly encouraged to apply. V. I. T. "moving to full registration" can be supported if required.

About our school

Christ the King is a warm, welcoming and inclusive community where student learning and well-being are at the heart of all we do. Guided by our Catholic values and inspired by our school’s vision, we nurture a culturally rich,



stimulating learning environment grounded in excellence and positive relationships.

About the role

As our Health and Wellbeing Specialist, you will:

- Draw on approved Health units and resources, such as Choicez , with the flexibility to adapt and modify them to meet the needs, interests and abilities of your students.
- Use physical education as a vehicle for SEL. Games, sport and movement become opportunities for students to practice self-regulation, cooperation, empathy, persistence and respectful communication.
- Apply the science of learning in Health and PE, using explicit teaching of skills and concepts, modelling and worked examples, and retrieval and spaced practice so that students remember and apply what they learn, both in movement skills and in their health and wellbeing knowledge.

build positive relationships and make responsible decisions.

- Connect with our existing wellbeing programs, including:
- Respectful Relationships
- Positive Behaviour for Learning
- Blue Earth
- Collaborate with classroom teachersin your team, our wellbeing team and families to support a consistent, whole-school approach to student wellbeing.

As a classroom teacher two days per week, you will:

- Work as a team partner in learning communities, becoming a valued member of the teaching team.

- Use retrieval and spaced practice to help students build lasting knowledge and skills.
- Plan, assess and report collaboratively with your team, using student data to monitor progress and adjust teaching.
- Bring your wellbeing expertise into the classroom, building strong relationships, consistent routines and a calm, positive learning environment where every child feels they belong.
- Communicate with families and work with your team partner to share the care and progress of every student.
