Role description

The Knox School is an independent, co-educational, and non-denominational community from ELC to Year 12, where every student is known, valued, and supported to grow. Achievement, Care, Empathy, Resilience, Responsibility and Respect are equally valued here, because education is not just about what students learn, but about creating individuals who are adaptable, thoughtful, and ready to write their own stories.

Our teachers know their students deeply, creating personalised learning experiences that build confidence, spark curiosity, and inspire a lifelong love of learning. We celebrate individuality, courage, and connection, preparing young people to contribute thoughtfully and confidently to the world around them.

We have again been recognised as an Employer of Choice and one of the 5-Star Best Schools 2026 by The Educator, a testament to our commitment to creating an environment where both students and staff feel valued, inspired, and supported to thrive.

The Knox School is seeking an experienced VCE English Teacher to join our community in 2027 on a full-time, 6-month fixed-term contract. We are looking for a passionate and dedicated educator who values the power of language and literature to inspire, challenge, and broaden perspectives. The successful candidate will foster a love of learning while supporting students to grow as confident thinkers, communicators, and individuals.

In return, you'll join an award-winning school community where innovation is encouraged, professional growth is supported and every staff member is empowered to make a meaningful impact.
