Imagine starting 2027 in a welcoming school community where you'll be supported from day one, enjoy genuine work-life balance, and live in one of Victoria's most beautiful regional locations, all while spending far less on rent than you would in Melbourne. Prospero Teaching is partnering with a highly regarded government secondary college in the stunning Latrobe Valley to recruit an enthusiastic English & Humanities Teacher for a permanent, full-time position commencing January 2027. Whether you're an experienced teacher looking for a lifestyle change, a graduate beginning your career, or an international teacher seeking an exciting opportunity in Australia, we'd love to hear from you.
