Maleny State High School is seeking a compassionate and adaptable teacher to join its Flexi program, supporting highly at-risk young people to reconnect with education and develop practical skills for future training and employment.

Operating off site at the local neighbourhood centre, the program provides an alternative to a conventional school timetable. Approximately 20 students are supported by one teacher and a Youth Support Coordinator, with student learning delivered over four days each week. The fifth day is allocated to teacher preparation and marking.

The program delivers a wholly vocational education and training (VET) curriculum. Applicants must hold an appropriate Training and Assessment (TAE) qualification to deliver VET certificates, that can deliver Cert II in FSK and Short course literacy.

The successful applicant will understand the complex needs of vulnerable young people, including those affected by substance use, domestic and family violence, and mental health challenges. They will build trusting relationships, maintain a calm and consistent approach when responding to challenging behaviours, and provide flexible learning opportunities that support engagement and wellbeing throughout the program.

Working closely with the Youth Support Coordinator and local community,



the teacher will develop meaningful learning experiences that build students' confidence, strengthen practical skills and create pathways beyond school.
