Kindergarten Associate Teacher

• Temporary, Full-Time
• Starting date: ASAP

Do you believe the early years are where confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning truly begin? At Mulgrave Independent School, we are seeking a passionate and dedicated Junior School Associate Teacher (Kindergarten) to join our dynamic Junior School team.

Mulgrave teachers inspire students to achieve their personal best through rich, engaging learning experiences that nurture well-being, curiosity, and academic growth. All of our students follow the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) beginning in PK3, and personalised, student-centred learning is at the heart of everything we do.

This is an exciting opportunity to work in a fast-paced, collaborative, and innovative environment, where low student–teacher ratios, outstanding resources, and a technology-rich campus create truly exceptional learning conditions. Through our co-teaching model, every K–2 classroom is staffed with both a Lead Teacher and an Associate Teacher, allowing for meaningful differentiation and personalised instruction.

Assisting with Before and After-School Care (ASC) supervision

Getting involved in the co-curricular programme for at least two terms

Occasionally TOC-ing in other classrooms, including PK

Developing and reviewing a Teacher Professional Growth Plan (TPGP) with your coach
