Are you looking for a temporary teaching opportunity that gives you the flexibility to work across a number of school settings? If so, apply for the Classroom Cover Stream of the Teachers in the Field Program and expand your teaching experience. Temporary positions are available for Years K - 6, Years 7 - 12 or Years K - 12 across a range of regional, rural and remote NSW public schools.

Under the Classroom Cover Stream of the Teachers in the Field Program, temporary teaching opportunities are available for up to three years at either one school (inbuilt relief) or across a geographic hub of schools (hub and spoke).

Teachers engaged as part of the Classroom Cover Stream may benefit from:

  • reduced commuting time for teachers who previously travelled longer distances to provide casual relief
  • longer engagements for staff who may have previously been employed on a casual basis
  • appointments that include leave and other benefits
  • greater employment certainty.

Temporary positions under the Classroom Cover Stream are currently accepting applications. Vacancies will be listed below as they become available in participating schools. Applicants must have a valid approval to teach and be willing to teach as a generalist (years K -12).

Hub and spoke model

Temporary teachers employed under this model are assigned to a group of schools with one school designated as the 'hub' school. Hub and spoke schools are grouped according to travel distance, so that teachers’ commuting time is, on average, no more than an hour.

Teachers will be based in their 'hub' school and will travel to 'spoke' schools, providing relief and release as required. Temporary teachers employed under this model must hold a valid NSW driver's licence, have access to their own vehicle and be willing to travel to participating schools.

Inbuilt relief model

Temporary teachers employed under this model are based solely at their designated schools, providing day-to-day relief and release as required.
