Make a lasting difference.  Teach where relationships matter!

 Full-time - permanent role

 About us

At Warakirri College, we educate young people aged 15–22 who have disengaged from mainstream schooling—often due to anxiety, depression, or social disadvantage. Our students are capable, curious, and resilient. They simply need the right environment and dedicated, passionate educators to thrive.

We have campuses in Blacktown, Campbelltown, Fairfield, and Redfern, with more campuses planned to open shortly. We also have a Distance Education program.

We are advertising multiple positions across various campuses because the college is in a growth phase.
