2027 Primary & Secondary Teachers

Teach where you are wanted, in the school that actually fits you

Inspired Recruitment works with more than 600 schools across Australia, including government, Catholic and independent schools right across Melbourne and regional Victoria. We are registering Primary, Middle Years, Secondary and Special Needs teachers now for ongoing, contract and fixed-term positions, with the biggest wave of vacancies landing ahead of Term 1.

You are not applying into a black hole here. One of our consultants will call you, learn what you actually want from your next school, and only put you forward for roles that make sense. Our digital interview and reference package means principals see the real you, not just a CV, which is why our teachers often get to interview faster than they would applying on their own.

• The right to work in Australia, and we support skilled visa and sponsorship pathways for the right candidates
• Overseas trained teachers are very welcome, and we will guide you through AITSL skills assessment and VIT registration step by step

What you will get

• Competitive Victorian teacher salaries, with the new Victorian Government Schools Agreement lifting rates significantly, and independent and Catholic schools setting their own scales that often sit above award
• Access to permanent, ongoing, contract and fixed term roles, many of which are never advertised publicly
• Salary packaging, professional development funding, mentoring for graduates and genuine progression to Learning Specialist and leadership
• A consultant who knows the schools personally and will be honest with you about culture, workload and leadership before you commit
