Primary Teachers: 2 New Permanent, Full-time Positions

Due to increased enrolments and additional investment in teaching and learning, Hereworth School is creating the opportunity for two new Primary (Years 0-8) teachers to join the dynamic and community orientated Hereworth teaching team. We are looking for teachers to state their teaching strengths including year level preferences. Both permanent teaching positions will commence in Term 1, 2026.
