2027 Teaching Positions – Primary, Middle & Senior School

Great schools are built by great people.

Parklands Christian College is seeking exceptional Christian teachers to join our Primary, Middle and Senior School teams in 2027. We are looking for teachers who are excellent at what they do, deeply committed to young people, passionate about Christian education and ready to contribute to a strong and growing school community.

Applications are invited from teachers across all year levels and teaching areas.

Within our Secondary School, we are particularly interested in hearing from teachers of:

• Humanities
• Design
• Music
• Economics

Within our Junior School, we are particularly interested in hearing from teachers of:

• HPE

Teachers from all other subject areas and combinations are also strongly encouraged to apply.

The People Matter

At Parklands, we believe the strength of any school ultimately lies in its people. Great programs matter. Strong systems matter. Excellent facilities matter. But it is great teachers, working together within a strong culture, who transform the experience of students. Our students are one of the great strengths of Parklands. They deserve teachers who know them, care about them, challenge them and believe deeply in what they can become.

We are looking for teachers who bring professional excellence, energy and initiative; who enjoy working with young people; who contribute positively to the culture around them; and who understand that education is fundamentally relational.

We want people who will add something to Parklands.

Christian Education With Purpose

Parklands is unapologetically a Christ-centred school.

Our Christian identity is not an addition to what we do; it shapes why we exist, how we understand young people, how we approach learning and how we serve our community.

Our vision is: Transforming lives through Christ. Equipped to impact their world and beyond.

Our mission is: To care for students through a quality Christian Education that inspires them to flourish, to love God, and to love others as themselves.

For our teachers, this means Christian education is more than teaching curriculum within a Christian environment. It is formation. It is relationship. It is service. It is helping young people discover their gifts, develop wisdom and character, grow in confidence and understand that their lives can have purpose and impact.

Our teachers must therefore have an active Christian faith and a genuine heart for mission.

Parklands Christian College also enjoys a strong relationship with Parklands Christian Church, sharing a commitment to serving our community and seeing lives transformed through Christ.

• Hold relevant teaching qualifications and current, or eligibility for, Queensland College of Teachers registration.
• Are highly effective practitioners who care deeply about the quality of learning in their classrooms.
