Mathematics Teacher in Ipswich

At The Industry School, we’re doing education differently. Our young people in Years 10–12 learn through a combination of classroom education, vocational training, workplaces and real industry experiences. We’re preparing students not just to pass a subject, but to understand why what they’re learning matters and where it can take them.

We’re looking for an experienced Mathematics Teacher who wants to bring their expertise, creativity and real-world perspective into a school environment that is genuinely different. If you’re passionate about mathematics but sometimes wish you had more opportunity to make it practical, relevant and connected to the world beyond school, this could be the role for you.

You’ll have the opportunity to teach mathematics in a way that connects with the lives, aspirations and future careers of our young people. You’ll work alongside educators, industry partners and our wider school community to create learning experiences that help students see the relevance of mathematics in the real world. This is a chance to use your experience as a teacher to make mathematics come alive.

The Industry School is unlike any other senior school. We work with young people who want a deliberately different educational experience one that blends senior secondary education with vocational learning and genuine industry exposure. Our unique two-to-three-year program for students in Years 10–12 is designed to build employability skills, develop individual strengths and achieve personalised learning goals while meeting Queensland curriculum and vocational requirements. Our students learn in the classroom, in workplaces and on the job. That means our teachers do more than deliver curriculum. They build relationships, open doors and help young people understand what is possible for their future.

We’re looking for an experienced Mathematics Teacher who is confident in their craft and excited by the opportunity to do things differently. You’ll be someone who:

• Brings strong mathematics knowledge and classroom experience
• Can make mathematics practical, engaging and relevant to young people
• Enjoys connecting classroom learning with real-world situations and industry
• Builds genuine relationships and knows that connection comes before learning
• Has high expectations while understanding that every young person takes a different path
• Is confident adapting their teaching to students with different abilities, backgrounds and aspirations
• Enjoys working collaboratively and contributing ideas beyond their own classroom
• Wants to be part of a school that is continually evolving and challenging traditional approaches to education

Most importantly, you’ll believe that every young person can succeed when learning has purpose.

You’ll be responsible for delivering quality Mathematics programs that engage students and achieve strong learning outcomes, while contributing to the broader educational and vocational experience of our young people. This includes:

• Planning and delivering engaging Mathematics curriculum and assessment programs
• Creating learning experiences that connect mathematical concepts to real-world applications
• Supporting students to build confidence, capability and independence in Mathematics
• Developing positive, respectful relationships with young people and creating a safe and motivating learning environment
• Working collaboratively with colleagues, industry partners, parents and the wider school community
• Using innovative approaches to respond to the individual needs and goals of students
• Maintaining high standards of curriculum delivery, assessment, documentation and compliance
• Contributing to the ongoing development and evaluation of quality teaching and learning programs
• Supporting the wellbeing and holistic development of young people

You’ll also work in accordance with the AITSL Professional Standards for Teachers and contribute positively to the culture and direction of The Industry School.

Essential:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher

We’d particularly love to hear from you if you have:

• A track record of engaging students who may not thrive in a traditional classroom environment
• Experience connecting learning to vocational pathways, careers or industry
• A practical, creative approach to teaching Mathematics
• Strong communication, organisation and relationship-building skills

Because you’ll be joining a team that believes education should prepare young people for life, work and what comes next not simply the next exam. We recognise and invest in our people through a range of benefits, including:

• Superannuation matching after a qualifying period
• Corporate-rate health insurance
• Salary packaging
• Staff discounts
• Employee Assistance Programs
• Professional development opportunities
• Opportunities to participate in community-based activities in Australia and Cambodia
