Your weekly structure includes 21 teaching contact hours, 11 hours for administration and 4.25 hours of discretionary preparation time, which can be completed on or off campus. Timetables and planners are provided well in advance.
You'll deliver practical workshop and classroom training, assess student competency and provide feedback that helps students improve. You'll also prepare lessons, maintain student records and contribute to training resources, with protected work practices central to your teaching.
Cairns will be your home campus. Some regional travel may be required, with work travel, accommodation and meals covered.

Already teaching or ready to make the move?
If you're an experienced educator, bring your delivery and assessment skills, share your ideas and contribute to an established team.
If you're moving from industry, experience mentoring apprentices or training colleagues is a valuable starting point. Applicants with their TAE completed or underway are preferred. A supported entry pathway may also be considered for the right tradesperson who hasn't yet started.
Structured induction, mentoring and a dedicated educator support team will help you settle into the role and develop your teaching practice.
