Indie School Wendouree is inviting applications for a full-time, permanent teaching position commencing in 2026.
Keen to get stuck into a permanent, full-time career with a progressive, independent school with a growing national network of campuses? Our schools are located in areas of socio-economic disadvantage, and we work with students who have found it difficult to engage with mainstream education for a variety of reasons. Our aim is to re-engage students with learning, improve literacy and numeracy skills and focus on the next step in the learning journey for each student: be that a desire to return to mainstream, pursue a TAFE/RTO pathway, or get ready for the workforce.
Our highly experienced teaching team is supported by a Head of School, Assistant Heads of School, Education Support Assistants, and Welfare Officers.
In 2025 our first year out salary for a 4 or 5 year trained teacher is $98,944 and $102,573 base plus superannuation respectively and this increases with experience to the top of the scale at $128,013. As we are a registered charity you can also take advantage of our generous salary packaging to boost your take home pay. Please note that this is not a contract role but a permanent position.
Indie School provides students the opportunity to learn in a supportive environment using individualised learning and education plans, tailored to each student's own education and life circumstances. Smaller class sizes allow students greater opportunity to identify their strengths and work to improve areas in which they lack confidence.
The greatest difference between Indie School and many other alternative education settings is that our foundations lie in Adult Education philosophies. Choice, independence, mutual respect and accountability all have a significant role to play. In return for higher levels of self-responsibility, the students can enjoy some greater freedoms.

- Preparation and delivery of programs in line with appropriate curriculum.
- Enhancing effectiveness in the classroom through improved teacher knowledge, practice and professional engagement in order to achieve improved standards of teaching and learning.
