Tips when applying

Be specific in your application:

  • When responding to any advertised position it is strongly recommended that you submit a specific response to the key selection criteria for the position to enhance the quality of your application.
  • Review details on particular schools and geographical areas. See: Find a Early Childhood Service or School
  • You can contact principals of the schools in which you are interested and discuss possible employment opportunities, including shorter-term and casual positions.

Remember if you limit your availability, you will have to compete for limited vacancies. If you are reasonably flexible in your location preferences and if you are able to consider some rural locations, you will increase your chances of securing a position in a Victorian government school. If you are prepared to seek a position in country schools, or in the outer suburbs of Melbourne, these communities can often assist in finding accommodation and getting you settled. All offer great lifestyles and have relatively easy access to Melbourne.
