Mathematics Teacher - Secondary

Nestled in 20 hectares of natural bushland, Carey Baptist College Forrestdale offers a unique educational environment where nature meets modern, purpose-built facilities. Established in 2016, our rapidly growing campus provides a vibrant learning community with custom-designed STEM spaces and outdoor learning environments created to foster student curiosity and analytical thinking.

Carey Baptist College is seeking a passionate, highly skilled, and adaptable Christian Secondary Mathematics Teacher to join our Secondary team, commencing in January 2027. We are flexible regarding load and are happy to consider applicants seeking between 0.4 FTE and a full-time 1.0 FTE placement.

This position is ideal for an educator who thrives on making mathematical concepts accessible, engaging, and relevant within a supportive Christian framework. Experience or capacity to teach Year 11 and 12 ATAR Mathematics Methods or Mathematics Applications is highly desirable as we continue to expand our senior secondary pathways.

• Deliver Engaging Curriculum:
  Plan, facilitate, and assess high-quality learning across Secondary Mathematics, with the capacity to deliver senior ATAR Mathematics Methods or Applications warmly welcomed.
• Embed Explicit Pedagogy:
  Utilise evidence-based teaching strategies, drawing on AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) frameworks to build inquiry, collaboration, organisation, and problem-solving habits in every classroom.
• Foster Mathematical Thinking:
  Cultivate logical reasoning, numerical confidence, and real-world problem-solving skills in a supportive, high-expectation learning environment.
• Support Student Wellbeing:
  Champion an inclusive, encouraging culture that nurtures character development, resilience, and academic growth.
• Collaborate & Innovate:
  Work alongside dedicated colleagues to refine learning programmes aligned with the College’s mission and strategic vision.

You are an experienced or emerging secondary-trained teacher with a heart for student growth and a commitment to relational, faith-informed teaching. You recognise that learning happens best when students feel known, valued, and challenged to attempt the extraordinary.

We would love to hear from you if you have:

• Relevant tertiary qualifications in Secondary Education with specialisation in Mathematics (Senior ATAR Methods or Applications expertise highly regarded).
• Experience with, or a strong desire to embrace, AVID pedagogical methodologies alongside Visible Learning practices to raise academic ambition and build strong problem-solving routines.
• A reflective teaching practice that uses data and formative feedback to guide student progress.
• An active Christian faith and a desire to play your part in the story of God in the world as a key contributor to our open-enrolment Christian community.

Carey Baptist College is a community with a big vision: to see a world transformed by the love of God. Serving local families across our K to 12 offering, we aim to build an active, connected community where students, families, and staff strive to ‘attempt the extraordinary’ because we believe it truly matters.
