Literacy That Moves Minds: Join GVL as a Literacy Specialist

Location: Macedon Ranges, VIC

Cycles: All Developmental Zones (4–18 years)

Type: Part-Time or Full-Time Negotiable

Start Date: As Agreed Upon


The Role

Are you passionate about the power of words to transform lives?

Global Village Learning (GVL) is seeking a Literacy Specialist to join our dynamic, learner-led, future-focused community. This is not just about phonics or essays — it's about meeting learners where they are and guiding them beyond what they thought possible.

You'll design and deliver targeted support for learners who need a hand — and those who are ready to fly. Across all ages and cycles, from early readers to future authors, your impact will be deep and lasting.


Who You Are

You are...

  • A VIT-registered educator with a strong grounding in literacy development.
  • Experienced in both intervention (e.g. decoding, comprehension, structured literacy) and extension (e.g. writing craft, critical literacy, literary analysis).
  • Skilled at building trust, curiosity, and confidence in readers and writers of all ages.
  • Flexible, creative, and collaborative across multi-age, mixed-stage groups.
  • Committed to evidence-based practices without losing the magic of the written word.

In This Role, You Will:
  • Work with learners across all developmental zones (Foundations & Play through Pathways & Futures).
  • Design personalised learning plans that support and stretch literacy growth.
  • Co-create meaningful literacy experiences linked to EDventurous Projects, Personal Interest Projects, and Pathways goals.
  • Collaborate with other Guides to integrate literacy in real-world, purposeful ways.
  • Track progress using our mastery-based model, not marks or grade levels.
  • Empower learners to express themselves with confidence, clarity and creativity.

Why This Role Matters at GVL

Literacy is more than a skill — it's a tool for advocacy, storytelling, impact and identity. As our community continues to grow, we need someone who can:

  • Light the fire for struggling readers
  • Fan the flame for those ready for more
  • And model a deep love for language, across every age group.

Essentials
  • Current VIT Registration
  • Experience with structured literacy AND open-ended, writer-driven approaches
  • Ability to work across multiple ages and stages
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills
  • Current WWCC, First Aid (Level 2), Anaphylaxis (or willingness to obtain)
