Casual Melb Drama Teacher- Do you love Drama and Teaching?

2 weeks ago

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia The Drama Toolbox Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year
Casual Teaching Role – Drama Toolbox

Love teaching but not ready for the full-time classroom? Want to use your skills in a fun, creative way?

Join Drama Toolbox and experience teaching at its most joyful.

Since 1996, we've been sparking imaginations through drama incursions across Melbourne and Sydney. Every day, our teachers create magic in classrooms — and leave students and teachers grinning from ear to ear.


The Role

As a Casual Drama Toolbox Teacher, you'll take your love of teaching on the road, delivering 1–5 lively drama workshops per day in primary schools, preschools, and childcare centres across Melbourne metro.

This is not your standard teaching job. No endless admin. No parent emails. No assessment data. Just pure teaching — using drama, imagination and creativity to engage children.

It's the perfect role for a graduate or returning teacher into the workforce who:

  • isn't ready to commit to classroom teaching,
  • wants variety and flexibility, and
  • loves making learning exciting.

You'll work 3–5 days a week (mainly during school terms), blending half and full-day sessions depending on bookings. While casual by contract, this is an ongoing role with long-term support and investment in you.


Why You'll Love It

At Drama Toolbox, we do things differently:

  • Work-life balance – school hours, school terms
  • No admin – just turn up and teach. Once you have our comprehensive lesson plans under your belt you really do - just turn up and teach.
  • Paid training & professional development – we invest in you
  • Consistent roster – 3–5 days per week
  • Travel allowance & uniforms provided
  • Supportive mentoring – you'll never feel alone
  • Minimum 3 hours pay per shift

About You

We're looking for someone who is:

  • A Bachelor of Education (or equivalent) graduate with current VIT registration
  • Experienced specifically in teaching environments with children (minimum 2 years with primary or preschool-aged groups)
  • A natural performer who can captivate a room with storytelling and energy
  • Confident in classroom management, with strong time management skills
  • Flexible, reliable, and comfortable travelling around Melbourne metro

You'll also need:

  • Your own reliable car (and space at home to store teaching kits)
  • A valid Working With Children Check
  • To live within easy reach of our Mitcham office (Whitehorse region) to pick up and drop off kits on a regular basis.

Ready to Join Us?

If you're excited by the idea of inspiring kids without the pressures of a traditional classroom, we'd love to hear from you

Apply via the SEEK portal or email Kirsten at for a full Position Description.

Applications close Friday 5th October 2025 (immediate start available).
