HARKE Recruitment is supporting Catholic, Independent and Government schools across Darwin with their 2027 secondary teaching recruitment.

For teachers considering a move north, HARKE cuts through the noise. Rather than sending teachers a long list of vacancies, the team takes the time to understand what you teach, what type of school you want, what matters financially and professionally, and what support you need to make the move work.

From there, HARKE can connect you directly with suitable schools, explain salary and relocation packages, coordinate interviews and support you through the process.

Several schools are already interviewing for 2027, with opportunities currently available across:

• English – ability to teach through to senior secondary preferred

Additional subject requirements are still being confirmed as schools finalise their 2027 staffing and subject selections, however the opportunities above are live now and progressing to interview.
