Are you an Early Childhood Teacher with a passion for making a difference in the lives of young children? Are you open to relocating to sunny Cairns?

Tired of the same old scenery, looking for a rewarding adventure in a tropical climate? Say goodbye to your old views and hello to paradise!

🌴 Cairns is calling—where it's summer year-round, palm trees sway in the breeze, and your biggest wardrobe concern is which pair of thongs/jandals/flip flops to wear. Imagine swapping your regular daily activities for a swimsuit, and your regular skyline for the turquoise waters of the Great Barrier Reef.

Whether you're after adventure in the Daintree Rainforest, sunset cocktails on the Esplanade, or just soaking up that warm tropical vibe, Cairns has it all. Plus, our friendly locals and laid-back lifestyle will make you feel at home from day one.

So what now?
