Teach Regional WA - Primary and Secondary Teaching Roles

Teach Regional WA

About the Role

Catholic Education Western Australia is seeking qualified teachers to join Catholic schools across regional Western Australia, including the Bunbury, Geraldton and Goldfields–Esperance–Mid West (GEMs) regions.

These roles offer the opportunity to teach in close‑knit school communities where relationships, collaboration and community connection are central to student learning. Teachers in regional schools often experience strong collegial support, meaningful engagement with families and opportunities to contribute beyond the classroom.

Recruitment for these roles is supported through Teach Regional WA, a guided pathway that helps teachers explore regional opportunities and identify roles that align with their experience, preferences and school context.

About Teach Regional WA

Teach Regional WA is not a jobs board. Coordinated by Catholic Education Western Australia, the program supports principals to recruit quality teachers while providing candidates with clear information, honest conversations and tailored support throughout the process.

Teachers apply by submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI). Applicants may nominate preferred regions or choose to be considered more broadly across Bunbury, Geraldton and GEMs. Submitting an EOI does not commit you to a role.

Locations

Teaching opportunities may be available across:

• Bunbury (South West): Regional centres and surrounding country towns with strong services and community connection
• Geraldton (Mid West): Regional and regional‑plus communities offering relational, community‑focused teaching
• Goldfields-Esperance-Mid West (GEMs): Inland centres and smaller communities where schools play a central role in local life

Teaching Opportunities

Opportunities may be available across primary and secondary settings, including:

• Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary teachers
• Specialist secondary teachers (availability varies by region and school)

Appointments may include ongoing, fixed‑term, relief or short‑term roles, depending on school needs.

• Commitment to student learning, wellbeing and inclusive educational practice
