About the Role
We are on the lookout for passionate and committed educators to deliver high-quality training across a variety of our programs, including:
* VET in schools
* Certificate IV in Community Services;
* Certificate IV in Youth Work; and
* Diploma of Community Services.
These rewarding roles will be tailored to your skills, experience, and qualifications and will see you educating a diverse range of students on how to support vulnerable and disadvantaged individuals. You will have the opportunity to contribute across one or more of our programs, delivering a blend of classroom and online learning. With teaching opportunities at both our Geelong and Werribee campuses, you can look forward to variety, flexibility and the chance to make a real impact.

About You:
You are a people-first professional, naturally empathetic and compassionate, with a genuine drive to connect meaningfully with others. Your strength lies in building trust and creating safe, inclusive spaces where learners feel seen, heard and supported.
You may be someone who has a career in community services, youth work or social support sectors and feel ready to bring real-world experience into the classroom. Your industry experience, the hands-on, practical knowledge gained through roles such as case management, youth engagement, disability support, crisis response, community development, housing or mental health support, offers invaluable insight for learners preparing to step into these fields.
We welcome applications from experienced educators, as well as those who have recently completed or are close to completing their Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. If you are ready to make a meaningful impact in the lives of young people and communities, we would love to hear from you.
