Help shape the next generation of changemakers in Queensland classrooms

Kids in Philanthropy (KiP) delivers hands-on philanthropic learning programs for young people, building their understanding of social issues and their capacity to take real action. Students explore local causes, connect with charities, and prepare essential goods like meals, care packs, hygiene products and clothing for people in need in their community.

We're a small, close-knit team, passionate about what we do and about supporting each other. We work across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, and we're growing our presence in QLD.

About the role

As Teacher in Residence, you'll design and adapt KiP's programs for Queensland secondary schools, aligning content with relevant curriculum frameworks and year-level learning objectives. You'll provide consultation and training to QLD teachers so they can confidently deliver service learning and philanthropic education in their own classrooms, and you'll lead or co-facilitate program sessions in schools yourself.

You'll build genuine relationships with school leaders, coordinators and teachers, contribute to funder reporting and grant applications, and help grow KiP's presence across Queensland, with a particular focus on regional and low-SES communities. 

What you'll bring

• Experience teaching in Queensland secondary schools
• A track record of designing, adapting and delivering curriculum-aligned content
• Genuine interest in social impact and philanthropy
• Strong relationship-building skills with students, teachers and school communities
• Comfort working independently and managing your own program logistics

Experience in project-based or service-learning programs, the QLD charitable sector, or low-SES and regional school settings will be highly regarded.

The details

• Location: Queensland, hybrid (school-based delivery with a flexible remote base)
• Status: Part-time or contractor
• Term: 12-month fixed-term contract, with possibility of extension up to three years
• Hours: To be discussed, flexible arrangements considered for the right candidate

KiP is a child safe organisation.
