An exciting opportunity exists for an enthusiastic and motivated teacher experienced in Physics, Mathematics and Science to join the team at Fortitude Valley State Secondary College.

Teachers coming into a new school environment need to have exceptional relational skills, be driven to build a positive, welcoming and supportive school culture and be willing and able to commit to the school's development and growth. This is a unique opportunity and requires a strong work ethic and a willingness to embrace change. Teachers are key in achieving our vision and we are deeply passionate about capable and confident people who can maximise outcomes for students. We value bold, resilient and kind individuals who are willing to take risks, constantly asking 'how can this be done better?' and 'what's next?'
