The Role

Rosebank College is seeking two exceptional educators to join the College as Founding Stage 3 Teachers and help shape an important new chapter in our history. With Stage 3 (Year 5) launching in 2027, this is a defining opportunity to establish strong foundations, culture, and standards from the beginning.

Reporting to the Director of Stage 3, successful applicants will work collaboratively as part of the inaugural Stage 3 team, contributing to the development of a connected, high-performing learning community that supports academic excellence, student wellbeing, faith formation, and successful transition into the Secondary years.

Commencing in Term 4, 2026, successful applicants will benefit from a supported transition period, allowing time to build relationships, engage deeply with the College’s culture, and strategically design the learning experiences, structures, and practices that will underpin Stage 3 from its inception.

This is not simply a teaching position - it is an opportunity to help build something enduring.

For a collaborative and forward-thinking educator, this is a chance to make a lasting impact.

This early commencement reflects intentional leadership planning, a comprehensive induction program, and our commitment to attracting outstanding educators.
