Cranbourne West, Victoria, Australia DyslexAbility Full time $30,000 - $50,000 per year

Join the DyslexAbility Team – Make a Real Difference Every Day

At DyslexAbility, we believe every learner deserves to feel capable, confident, and celebrated for who they are. Located in Melbourne's southeast, our therapeutic learning centre specialises in working with neurodiverse students – including those with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, autism, ADHD, and other literacy and numeracy challenges.

Our passionate team of practitioners use explicit, systematic, multi-sensory teachingmethods to help students unlock their potential. As our centre continues to grow rapidly, we're on the lookout for caring, motivated, and creative Literacy Practitioners to join our vibrant team.

Why You'll Love Working with Us

  • Purpose-driven work – help children who learn differently to thrive academically and personally.
  • Specialist training – we'll equip you with Orton-Gillingham (OG) / Multisensory Structured Language (MSL) skills if you're not already certified.
  • Supportive, friendly culture – be part of a team that celebrates collaboration, kindness, and professional growth.
  • Room to grow – ongoing professional development and mentoring to help you shine.
  • Competitive pay in a professional and welcoming environment.

About You

We're looking for people who are:

  • Passionate about working with neurodiverse learners, especially students with dyslexia.
  • Naturally patient, empathetic, and encouraging.
  • Skilled at building warm, professional relationships with students and families.
  • Organised, adaptable, and able to work independently with confidence.
  • Comfortable using laptops, iPads, and educational apps.
  • Team players with a sense of humour and creativity.
  • Excited to think outside the box and make learning engaging and joyful.

(Teaching degrees are not required. MSL or OG certification is highly valued – or we'll train you prior to working with students.)

What You'll Do

  • Deliver engaging, one-on-one tutoring sessions tailored to each learner's needs.
  • Plan lessons based on diagnostic assessments and evidence-based methods.
  • Track and report student progress to ensure growth and celebrate success.
  • Collaborate with colleagues and share ideas to keep learning fresh and exciting.

If you want to be part of a team that changes lives through learning, we'd love to hear from you.
