Are you ready to plan your next move?
AndFound Educate is currently partnering with a specialist Victorian Government school to appoint a Classroom Teacher.
This is a unique and deeply meaningful opportunity to teach in a specialist education setting working with young people in challenging circumstances, where flexibility, resilience, and genuine care make a real difference every day. Operating year-round across three campuses, the school delivers individually tailored education using applied learning principles.
About the School
This specialist Victorian Government school provides education for young people across structured settings and community transition pathways. The school can educate up to 300 students on any given day, with enrolment numbers fluctuating as students transition through different educational stages.
Teachers work in small-group settings, delivering the Victorian Curriculum alongside VET certificates (accredited through Melbourne Polytechnic) across trades including Visual Art, Music, Sport & Recreation, Fitness, Kitchen Operations, Engineering, Carpentry, Horticulture, and Salon Assistant.
The school fosters a deeply supportive, trauma-informed professional culture where teachers work alongside wellbeing teams and community transition partners. This is not a conventional teaching role — it requires adaptability, emotional resilience, and a genuine belief in every young person's potential.
