TESOL Teaching Roles in SE QLD

We’re recruiting passionate English language teachers for the Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) and other adult learning streams across SE QLD and Brisbane.

Bright Spark Recruitment is contracted with a government body to recruit qualified teachers for the delivery of the AMEP program, helping newly arrived migrants and refugees gain the language skills they need to settle confidently and thrive in their new communities.

If you have a genuine passion for empowering adult migrants and refugees through language and settlement support, you’ll find meaningful, rewarding work in these roles.
