Teaching opportunities for pre-service teachers

Final year pre-service teachers can access the Casual Teacher and Pre-Service Teacher Fixed Term pools to teach in public schools across the state.

Casual Teacher Pool

Pre-service teachers in their final year of study can apply to our Casual Teacher Pool and work in public schools across WA. Casual and relief work can range from 3 hours to 4 weeks depending on your availability.
