Work at ELTHAM

A school where we are all teachers and students of life

A career at ELTHAM College means being part of a community that values a thirst for knowledge and excellence. It means thriving in a place that champions helping students realise their full potential, while constantly improving on our own. 

We believe empowered minds, empower minds

ELTHAM College is dedicated to unlocking and nurturing the talents of each individual student, with our teachers playing a pivotal role in guiding the exciting journey of self-discovery and personal development. 

ELTHAM teachers have exceptional skills and have the autonomy to apply them creatively. Joining our dynamic team means immersing yourself in a liberating environment - a place where freedom, challenge, and trust co-exist. Here, we foster a culture of mutual respect, where teachers and students work in harmony, friendship, and collaboration. 

What sets ELTHAM apart is this very ethos. Year after year, our students and graduates tell us that the partnerships they form with their teachers are some of the most defining, enriching, and important aspects of their ELTHAM experience. 

Our Enterprise Agreement has been designed to empower our staff to own their own jobs and take ownership of their role at ELTHAM. It’s about your contributions towards achieving our strategic goals, and how ELTHAM, in turn, acknowledges and rewards your intellectual capital, skill, and efforts.
