Benefits
We are seeking three passionate and relationship-focused Special Needs Teachers to join a specialist school in Benalla, in beautiful regional Victoria, supporting students with diverse additional needs.
Across the three positions, you will work with small cohorts in a supportive, inclusive environment where building trust and meaningful connections is at the heart of student success. Teaching is tailored to each student through individualised planning and a consistent, structured approach.
All three roles are full-time, commencing in Term 3 (July). The school is open to graduate teachers, and contracts can be offered on a 6-month, 18-month or potentially permanent basis.
The Positions
We're partnering with a well-established specialist school in Benalla that provides a supportive, individualised learning environment for students with additional needs.
With small class sizes and extensive in-class support, teachers are empowered to focus on what matters most - building relationships and helping every student progress and thrive.
The school values compassion, flexibility and connection above years of experience, making this an excellent opportunity for both experienced educators and graduate teachers who are passionate about making a genuine difference in the lives of young people.
