Closing dates fall before the 2027 school year
The department's ads close fast. Of its 35 new ads, 28 close by 16 November. Six close on 9 November, and a deputy principal role in Camillo closed on 6 November.
| Department of Education ads close | Ads |
|---|---|
| 6 to 9 November | 7 |
| 10 to 13 November | 10 |
| 14 to 16 November | 11 |
| 17 to 23 November | 7 |
Of the 35, 19 were full time, 13 part time and 3 fixed term. The timing matters. WA public school Term 4 ends on Thursday 17 December 2026, and Term 1 2027 starts on Monday 1 February, according to the department's published term dates. The ads themselves don't all state a start date, so check each one before applying.
Childcare ads are fewer
Childcare hiring in our feed is much smaller. There were 7 live childcare ads in Perth and 15 across WA on 6 November. Two of the Perth ads were Department of Education roles. Early childhood educator ads from an early learning centre in Perth and Fremantle quoted $33.87 to $38.14 an hour. One childcare worker ad quoted $75,000 to $85,000 a year.
Childcare providers face a register deadline this month. We covered the 30 November early childhood worker register deadline on 4 November.
