We partner with peak industry organisations to provide our students unique opportunities and experiences specific to their interests. Our students will receive a tailored career plan to develop key employability and life skills for a successful future.  

SEDA College has an exciting opportunity for a qualified Teacher to facilitate and deliver the Sports Development Program in one of our eastern metro Melbourne venues. This role focuses on the facilitation and delivery of a senior secondary program whilst working with one of SEDA’s key partners (Netball Victoria). SEDA College’s ‘one Teacher, one classroom’ model facilitates positive Teacher student relationships which are key to the College’s success.

Suitable applicants will require a Victorian Institute of Teaching registration. Experience in teaching VCAL and VET is preferred but not essential. Amongst other skills, Teachers are specifically recruited for their capacity to build healthy and respectful relationships with students.

Job benefits and perks

SEDA College has been certified as a “Great Place to Work®” and was recently rated as one of Australia’s “Best Workplaces”.  You will be joining a vibrant organisation with a focus on people, quality and outcomes in a role that will be challenging, and enormously rewarding.

SEDA College is an Equal Opportunity employer and includes merit-based selection, equity, diversity and procedural fairness principles in our recruitment processes.

SEDA College encourages people from different backgrounds to apply, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and people with disability. 

Research shows that while males apply for roles when they meet some of the selection criteria, females and members of other marginalised groups tend to apply for roles only when they have all the skills and experience required.  So, if you think you have what it takes, but don’t necessarily meet every single point above, please still get in touch.  We’d love to have a conversation to see if you could be a great fit for the College. 

Applicants are required to submit a covering letter outlining why you are interested in the position and addressing the key selection criteria listed in the Position Description located on our website: http://www.seda.vic.edu.au/about-seda/jobs-at-seda-college/ plus a current resume.  Applications should be emailed to [email protected].  Interested applicants are encouraged to submit their application early as shortlisting may occur prior to the closing date.

Only applicants who have current working rights will be considered.  Applications which do not include all the documentation as outlined above may also be discounted.

To ensure that SEDA College is recruiting the right people for our College, our screening process includes but is not limited to structured interviewing and selection processes, a Criminal History Check, Working with Children Check, online searches, and reference checks. Applicants must also not be a disallowed person as per the 2022 Standard VET Funding Contract – Skills First Contract. 

SEDA College (Victoria) is committed to the safety, participation and empowerment of all children. All members of our community, including employees, contractors, agency staff and volunteers, have an important role in providing students with a safe and nurturing environment in which to prosper and thrive.
