This position is ideal for educators seeking a career with greater variety and challenges than a standard teaching role, including opportunities for travel and significant development.

Your Role: The Army provides world-class military training and requires quality educators to induct and train personnel. As an Education Officer, you will teach the next generation of Army soldiers. Responsibilities include:

• Developing educational policies.
• Implementing and assessing educational policies.
• Educating Officer Cadets.

Salary: You will receive a competitive annual salary of $97,168, plus a 16.4% superannuation contribution from the commencement of your employment, irrespective of age, experience, or qualifications.

Location: Opportunities exist to explore Australia and the world. Following initial military training in Canberra, you may be posted to major base locations across Australia or to Training Establishments in regional areas.
