- Hold a small 0.2 teaching load

About You
You are an experienced educator and people leader who thrives in a fast-paced, student-centred environment.
- Proven leadership in boarding, student wellbeing or residential education
- Excellent communication, problem-solving, and organisational skills
- A strong understanding of adolescent development and pastoral care
- Ability to engage positively with students, families, and staff
- A commitment to child safety, inclusion, and continuous improvement
- Current VIT registration
- Availability to work weekends and travel as required

Why Join MLC?
At MLC, you'll be part of a renowned and progressive school community where every student is supported to thrive, and every staff member is encouraged to grow. Our inclusive and forward-thinking culture celebrates diversity, collaboration, and innovation in all we do.
