We are seeking an outstanding Secondary English teacher to join ACC Casey from Term 1, 2027.
ACC Casey is a growing P–12 Christian school, with Year 12 being added in 2027. This creates an exciting opportunity for an English teacher who wants not only to teach well, but to contribute to the ongoing development of a growing Secondary school.
The successful applicant will teach Secondary English and play an important role in helping students become confident readers, thoughtful writers and effective communicators. We are looking for a teacher who combines strong subject knowledge with high expectations, excellent relationships and a genuine belief that every student is capable of meaningful academic growth.
Teaching at ACC Casey is characterised by high expectations, strong relationships and evidence-informed practice. We want classrooms to be calm, purposeful and academically ambitious places where students know what they are learning, understand what success looks like and are supported to make sustained progress.
Our teaching and learning approach is increasingly informed by the Science of Learning and evidence about how students learn most effectively. Teachers are supported to strengthen practices including:
* Explicit instruction and carefully sequenced learning;
* Clear modelling of reading, writing and analytical thinking;
* Frequent checking for understanding;
* Effective questioning and opportunities for all students to respond;
* Retrieval and deliberate review of prior learning;
* Scaffolding complex tasks before moving students towards greater independence;
* Explicit teaching of vocabulary, sentence construction and extended writing;
* Purposeful use of assessment and student data to identify gaps and inform future teaching;
* Strong classroom routines that maximise learning time; and
* High expectations for student effort, behaviour and academic achievement.
A significant feature of our professional culture is instructional coaching. We believe excellent teachers continue to refine their craft, and we seek to make observation, feedback and professional dialogue normal parts of teaching at ACC Casey.
Teachers participate in ongoing coaching and professional learning focused on practical improvements that can be implemented directly in the classroom. We value teachers who are reflective, open to feedback and willing to continually develop their practice.
Within English, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the continued development of curriculum, assessment and instructional practice across the Secondary years. As the College grows towards P–12, there is considerable scope for teachers who enjoy building strong programs, collaborating with colleagues and helping establish a culture of academic excellence.
We would particularly welcome applications from teachers who:
* Are passionate about English, literature, language and developing strong communicators;
* Hold high expectations for what students can achieve;
* Build warm, respectful relationships while maintaining clear standards;
* Are committed to evidence-informed teaching and continual improvement;
* Value coaching, feedback and professional learning;
* Enjoy working collaboratively with colleagues;
* Want to contribute to curriculum and program development in a growing Secondary school;
* Are willing to contribute actively to the broader life and culture of the College; and
* Desire to integrate their Christian faith authentically into their teaching, relationships and professional practice.
Potential leadership opportunity
For a suitably experienced applicant, this position also has the potential to include a Position of Responsibility as a Secondary Coordinator. This provides an opportunity for an experienced teacher or emerging leader to contribute more broadly to the development of Secondary culture, student engagement, staff collaboration and the day-to-day leadership of a growing Secondary school.
Whether you are an experienced Secondary English teacher or a strong practitioner ready for your next professional challenge, this is an opportunity to join a school with significant growth ahead and to help shape what its Secondary program becomes.
This is a full-time position commencing Term 1, 2027.
