CoRE Educator - Digital Technologies (Open Now)
The Opportunity
We are seeking a fixed-term Digital Technologies Educator who believes the best learning happens both inside and beyond the classroom, and who is passionate about creating pathways for young people into STEM careers in the resources sector.
This role is more than delivering programs. You will be a key champion of CoRE’s education philosophy, working closely with educators and students while also liaising with industry experts to create authentic, real-world learning opportunities. This includes facilitating mentoring, volunteering, and meaningful industry engagement that connects classroom learning to future careers.
You genuinely care about student-centred learning and strengthening educator capability. You bring energy, adaptability and a strong interest in innovative teaching approaches. You are confident using digital tools and contemporary methodologies, and you are committed to evidence-based practice that improves outcomes for both students and teachers.
The successful candidate will lead delivery of our Pit to Pixel and CoRE Games programs. This fixed-term, part-time role (2–3 days per week) runs until December 2026, with potential extension into 2027. It will suit an experienced secondary STEM educator who is confident working alongside classroom teachers and school leaders. Relevant education qualifications and experience are essential.
The role requires travel within the Perth metropolitan area, with occasional interstate travel. Outside of travel commitments, the position can be performed remotely.

How to apply
We want to know about who you are, but life is not a written exam, so our job applications don’t need to be either.
If you are applying for a role with the CoRE Learning Foundation, please provide:
A recent CV;
A 1 page cover letter showcasing why you believe you’re the best person for the role. You can be creative with this which means it can be written or a video (no more than 2 minutes) that tells us about you; and
Contact information for two professional referees but we don’t want to make it awkward for you and your current boss. We will never contact a referee without asking you first

CoRE Educator - Head of Schools (Opening April 20 2026)
The Opportunity
We are looking for a full-time, dynamic leader who is ready to do education differently.
Working alongside the CoRE Lead, the Head of Schools will coordinate and steward our metro and regional CoRE schools network across Western Australia, delivering dynamic and evolving learning philosophies through the CoRE Learning Model.
We are seeking an experienced Science (STEM) educator who believes learning extends beyond classroom walls and is passionate about creating pathways for young people into STEM careers in the resources sector. You are curious, energetic and deeply committed to both student outcomes and educator growth. You are comfortable working within ambiguity, energised by innovation and driven by impact. You don’t simply deliver programs or coordinate visits, you steward ideas, relationships and futures.
This role combines hands-on delivery with classroom educators and school leaders, coordination across school administration networks, and active support of the CoRE Lead during field trips and Foundation activities. A key component of the role is liaising with industry experts to create meaningful mentoring, volunteering, site visit and real-world learning opportunities for teachers and students.
We are particularly interested in candidates with STEM qualifications and a strong interest or background in Earth Sciences. The role will suit someone excited by travel, the outdoors and regional engagement, and ready to build a lifestyle around meaningful, purpose-driven work.
This is an active position requiring regular regional travel and participation in outdoor field trips. You must be able to meet the physical demands of travel and expeditions and hold a valid Western Australian driver’s licence.
If this sounds like you, CoRE would love to hear from you.
