Teaching in the NT – Real, Rewarding, and Life-Changing
If you’ve ever wanted your teaching to make a real difference, this could be the move that changes everything.

HARKE Recruitment is partnering with schools across the Northern Territory — from Darwin and Katherine to remote communities in Arnhem Land, Central, and Barkly — to connect teachers with meaningful opportunities where their skills matter most.

These are roles that challenge you, grow you, and reward you in ways that go beyond salary. Teaching remotely can be isolating at times, and the adjustment is real — but so is the impact you’ll have. The NT offers a rare chance to live with purpose, experience strong community, and see parts of Australia few others do.

Educators relocating to urban centres receive allowances to support their move and setup. Those in remote areas receive additional benefits, including subsidised housing, utilities support, and remote allowances paid on top of their fortnightly salary. Partner, single, and family allowances are also available depending on placement.

Current Opportunities Include:
Psychology | Chemistry | Music | Special Education | Science | Drama | Dance | HPE | Visual Arts | Mathematics | English (Language & Literature) | HASS | Middle Years

Our Approach: Real Support for a Real Transition
At HARKE, we understand the realities of moving interstate or remote: the practical, the emotional, and the cultural.

Our goal is to make that transition easier. We’re building stronger partnerships with schools and communities to provide an extra layer of support — before, during, and after placement. We check in, listen to feedback, and continuously adapt how we help, because the experience should be rewarding, not overwhelming.

When you apply through HARKE, you’ll:

Access multiple NT schools through one application

Save time — we handle introductions, interviews, and logistics

Get honest guidance — we’ll tell you the real picture before you apply

Be represented by a trusted partner schools respond to quickly

Receive practical preparation and ongoing support throughout your transition

Eligibility:

Registration with or eligibility for the Northern Territory Teacher Registration Board

Full Australian working rights

Two professional referees and completion of HARKE’s safeguarding onboarding process

The Reality
Remote teaching isn’t for everyone — it takes independence, adaptability, and a sense of adventure. But for the right teacher, it offers something rare: connection, purpose, and growth that lasts well beyond the classroom.

If you’re ready to explore what’s possible — with genuine support behind you — we’d love to start that conversation.
