- Bring proven leadership experience within a Primary setting
- Be highly collaborative, and organised, with strong communication and interpersonal skills
- Be a qualified teacher and hold a current registration with the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT)
- Have current First Aid qualifications and Anaphylaxis Certificate or be willing to obtain these prior to commencement.
- Be able to show a commitment to the values and ethos of Christian education.
- Be willing to get involved in all aspects of the College’s programs and opportunities.

Some of the benefits of working at Waverley Christian College include:

- A range of salary packaging options
- School fees discounts for staff whose children attend the school (after 12 months)
