Information for applicants

Imanpa is halfway between Yulara and Alice - if the applicant has a personal car, it is very easy to get into Alice Springs for supplies/a break etc. It is also a great location to base yourself to go exploring on weekends if you have a car - Kings Canyon/Alice/Mount Connor/West Mac Ranges etc.

Imanpa is our smallest campus at the moment, but that can fluctuate. Imanpa are quick at accepting and welcoming people. Imanpa don’t have as many opportunities as Docker for afterhours, but they have a rec centre, a footy team and a shop to help build relationships.

Docker River is nestled within some stunning ranges and beautiful scenery, and only 7kms from the WA border. It is also our most remote location - this comes with its own set of challenges and rewards. For someone to be successful here they would need to be okay with their own company, have a range of ways that the ‘fill their own cup’, be open and willing to spend time with Community outside of work hours - art centre, hanging at the shop, rec centre, going to the footy etc to build those relationships. The school has the largest number of attendees at the moment, and it is imperative to build positive relationships with students, staff and Community.

No visa sponsorship available.

Our must haves:

• A willingness to learn and be open to feedback - from Community and leadership
• Cultural sensitivity and awareness
• Some remote experience would be ideal - but not a deal breaker if not
• Experience in planning and delivering integrated units in multi years class (ideal but not a necessity)
• A willingness to do duties beyond classroom teaching - Community events, On Country events etc.
