At KMG Special Assistance School, we believe that every young person deserves access to quality education, meaningful relationships and opportunities to succeed.

We are seeking passionate, capable and culturally responsive Secondary School Teachers to join our team for the 2027 school year.

KMG provides an alternative educational setting for students in Years 7–12 who may have experienced barriers to accessing or engaging in mainstream education.

We are looking for educators who believe in the potential of every student, maintain high expectations and understand that genuine educational success is built through connection, consistency and quality teaching.

The Opportunity

As a Classroom Teacher at KMG, you will plan, deliver, assess and report on high-quality learning programs aligned with the KMG Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Framework (CARF).

Our educational approach is built on:

- Explicit Instruction – our agreed pedagogical approach.

- Cultural Responsiveness – the lens through which we teach and connect.

- The KMGWay – our school-wide model of Capability, Belonging, Relevance and Consistency.

You will work alongside a collaborative team of educators, school leaders and Student Services personnel to create engaging, inclusive and purposeful learning experiences.

Your Key Responsibilities

- Plan and deliver curriculum aligned with the Australian Curriculum and/or relevant senior secondary requirements.

- Develop engaging, differentiated and meaningful learning experiences.

- Explicitly embed literacy and numeracy development.

- Implement reasonable adjustments to support diverse learning needs.

- Maintain alignment between curriculum planning, teaching, assessment and reporting.

- Deliver structured, explicit and systematic instruction.

- Regularly check student understanding and provide constructive feedback.

- Use evidence of learning to inform teaching decisions.

- Support students to build confidence, independence and academic capability.

- Implement diagnostic, formative and summative assessments.

- Monitor and document student progress and achievement.

- Participate in moderation and curriculum improvement processes.

- Maintain accurate assessment records and communicate learning outcomes.

- Establish positive relationships that promote student connection, participation and engagement.

- Recognise and respond to individual student strengths and learning needs.

- Support students experiencing educational disengagement.

- Collaborate with Student Services personnel to improve educational participation.

- Implement individualised learning adjustments and support strategies.

- Create culturally safe, inclusive and respectful learning environments.

- Recognise and value Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, identities and perspectives.

- Authentically incorporate cultural perspectives into teaching and learning.

- Establish clear routines, boundaries and behavioural expectations.

- Apply proactive, trauma-informed and restorative approaches.

Who Are We Looking For?

We welcome applications from educators who demonstrate:





- Current Queensland College of Teachers registration or eligibility for registration.

- Strong curriculum knowledge and a commitment to quality teaching.

- An understanding of Explicit Instruction and differentiated learning.

- A commitment to culturally responsive and trauma-informed educational practices.

- The ability to establish positive relationships with young people.

- Robust communication, organisation and collaborative skills.

- Flexibility, resilience and a commitment to continuous improvement.

- A belief that every student can learn, progress and achieve.

Experience in a Special Assistance School or alternative education environment is desirable but not essential.

Why KMG?

At KMG, we recognise that education is more than attendance, worksheets and classroom routines.

It is about building capability, creating belonging, making learning relevant and delivering consistency.

Our school-wide approach is guided by four pillars:

· Capability – Building knowledge, skills, confidence and student agency.

· Belonging – Creating safe, supportive and culturally responsive learning environments.

· Relevance – Connecting learning to students' lives, cultures, communities and future pathways.

· Consistency – Delivering agreed approaches to curriculum, teaching, assessment and student support.

You will join a school committed to providing purposeful education, supporting professional growth and improving outcomes for young people.
