Full-Time Opportunity | Pathway to Ongoing Position

Prospero Teaching Australia is partnering with a highly supportive government primary school in Melbourne's western suburbs to appoint a dedicated and relationship-focused Primary Teacher commencing in Term 4, 2026.

This opportunity would suit a teacher who is passionate about student wellbeing, values collaboration, and is looking to establish themselves within a school community before transitioning into a dedicated classroom role.

About the School

This large and diverse primary school educates approximately 500 students and serves a vibrant multicultural community representing more than 40 different cultural backgrounds.

The school is committed to creating an inclusive and supportive learning environment where student wellbeing is at the centre of all decision-making. Staff work collaboratively to ensure every student feels safe, supported, and able to achieve success.

The Opportunity

The successful candidate will initially commence in a flexible teaching capacity, supporting a range of year levels and teaching teams throughout Term 4.

This approach allows teachers to:

• Build strong relationships with students and staff

• Develop an understanding of the school's culture and routines

• Gain exposure to different year levels and teaching environments

• Position themselves for future classroom opportunities

The leadership team places significant value on continuity and is seeking an educator who is interested in becoming a long-term member of the school community.

Student Wellbeing & Support

Many students come from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences, with some requiring additional social, emotional, and behavioural support.

The school adopts a trauma-informed approach to education and provides extensive support for both students and staff through:

• A large and established wellbeing team

• Strong student support programs

• Trauma-informed teaching practices

• De-escalation and behaviour support strategies

• Dedicated wellbeing and regulation spaces for students

• Ongoing professional learning and development

Teachers will also have access to training in the Berry Street Education Model (BSEM), providing valuable skills and strategies to support engagement, wellbeing, and learning outcomes.
