Part-time Online English Teacher (0.60 FTE)

Fixed Term opportunity for the 2027 Academic Year with a view to grow with our Online School.

This is a remote / online role with occasional Coffs Harbour campus events and camps.

Love English. Love innovation. Ready to teach beyond the classroom? What if great teaching wasn't limited by classroom walls, school bells or geographical boundaries?

At Bishop Druitt College (BDC), we're reimagining what great learning can look like. We're looking for an enthusiastic, creative and digitally confident Secondary English Teacher to join our growing Horizon Online Distance Education team in 2027.

This is your opportunity to bring English to life in a virtual classroom, build meaningful connections with students wherever they call home, and explore fresh ways to make learning engaging, relevant and memorable. And yes - you can do it all from home!

About BDC

Based on the beautiful Mid North Coast of NSW in Coffs Harbour, we are a progressive Anglican K-12 school with a strong reputation for academic excellence, character development and community spirit. Our approach is guided by the BDC Way - a commitment to helping every student grow, belong and flourish.

BDC Horizon Online takes the best of our face-to-face learning culture and brings it into a vibrant online environment. Grounded in our Designing for Deep Learning (DDL) framework, we encourage students to think critically, embrace challenges, become resilient learners and make a positive difference in the world - wherever they happen to be.

The Opportunity

As part of our BDC Horizon Online team, you'll do much more than deliver online lessons. You'll create opportunities for students to connect, collaborate, question, explore and discover their potential.

As part of the role, you will bring English to life by designing and delivering engaging, interactive online English lessons that inspire a love of language, literature and communication, using digital platforms and tools including Zoom Whiteboards, Google Workspace, our LMS and emerging AI technologies such as Google Gemini.

Our online teachers make learning matter through creating meaningful learning experiences aligned with NESA requirements and BDC's Designing for Deep Learning (DDL) principles. You will collaborate with our Head of Online School, Digital Learning Designer and campus teaching teams to create a connected and consistent BDC learning experience that supports our students to be World Prepared.

Your connection to us also means a great deal and as such you will be invited to join us for occasional campus experience days, student activities and outdoor education camps at our Coffs Harbour campus and facilities.

Instead of spending your mornings on playground duty or taking traditional classroom rolls you'll be creating engaging virtual tutor groups and online clubs where connection and belonging take centre stage.

You're an educator who loves what you do but is equally excited about what teaching could become. You're curious, creative and comfortable embracing technology. You know how to build relationships, bring out the best in students and create a classroom culture - even online.

Required Skills, Experience and Qualifications:

• A Bachelor of Secondary Education (or equivalent), with current NESA accreditation or eligibility for accreditation. Additional qualifications in online or blended learning would be a bonus.

• Demonstrated experience teaching Secondary English. HSC teaching experience and familiarity with online or blended learning environments will be highly regarded.

• Confidence using digital learning platforms and tools, including Learning Management Systems (e.g. Schoolbox, TASS), Google Workspace and Zoom.

• A knack for differentiated, student-centred learning, with experience in project-based and inquiry-driven approaches.

• A collaborative, adaptable and positive approach, with the ability to build strong relationships with students, families and colleagues.

• A genuine commitment to BDC's Christian ethos and our welcoming Anglican school community - where we embrace the philosophy of "come as you are".

• A current Working with Children Check (WWCC) and First Aid/CPR certification, or a willingness to obtain these.

At BDC Horizon Online, you'll enjoy the flexibility of working remotely while being part of an established, supportive and forward-thinking school community.

You'll also benefit from flexibility: Enjoy the opportunity to teach from home without losing the connection and support of a school team. Innovation: Work with contemporary digital learning platforms and explore the possibilities of AI and emerging educational technologies. Professional growth: Access professional learning and development in digital pedagogy, AI and future-focused teaching practices. Collaboration: Work alongside passionate educators and learning designers who love sharing ideas and finding better ways to do things. Connection: Be part of a school community that values relationships, wellbeing, belonging and the individual contribution of every staff member.

Most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to help shape an evolving model of education and make a real difference to students whose learning journey looks a little different.

If you're excited by the possibilities of online education, love teaching English and want to be part of a team that's doing things a little differently, we'd love to hear from you!

1. A cover letter outlining your suitability for the role, including your experience and interest in digital and online learning.
