Seeking a Learning Diversity Teacher

A school is built on the strength of its people.

At Ivanhoe Grammar School, our people create a culture of belonging. A place where ideas are heard and supported. Where you are encouraged to try something new. A place to feel included and valued. Ivanhoe Grammar School is a values-driven, co-educational independent school with a commitment to fostering a community where students, teachers and professional services staff can continually become the best version of themselves. At Ivanhoe Grammar School, we are always looking for great people to join our team. We are always seeking people who are energetic, collaborative and courageous.

The Learning Diversity Teacher is a member of the Academic Staff based at our University Campus, Macleod. This role plays an integral part in supporting the intellectual, social, emotional and personal development of students, in line with the School’s commitment to fostering young people of character who give their best to everything they do.

Working with our Year 9 students, you will contribute to an inclusive, student-centred learning environment where every learner is known, challenged and supported to achieve personal growth.

This is a full-time, 12-month fixed-term position, commencing in January 2027.

What you will do

In this role, you will support students with diverse learning needs to thrive at school. You will work collaboratively with colleagues and families, applying evidence-informed practice and reflective teaching to enable meaningful progress. Your work will model and promote the Ivanhoe Learner attributes – courageous, innovative, balanced, collaborative, ethical, reflective and compassionate – and contribute to a culture where every student feels valued, capable and supported to grow.

You have the necessary experience, knowledge and skills to:

• Design and deliver targeted intervention programs informed by diagnostic data, school priorities, and student learning profiles


• Use assessments, evidence, and professional judgement to identify learning needs, track growth, and adjust strategies to maximise student progress

• Build strong relationships with students and families, providing clear communication, learning updates, and guidance to support progress and wellbeing


• Support student transitions back to full classroom learning and contribute actively to co-curricular and campus life, modelling Ivanhoe’s values and expectations

Who you are

You are a reflective and purposeful educator who believes that learning and character are inseparable. You recognise the potential in every young person and understand that high expectations, strong relationships, and compassionate support create the conditions for students to thrive. You model the Ivanhoe Learner attributes – courageous, balanced, innovative, collaborative, ethical, reflective and compassionate – and you strive to bring them to life in your practice.

You bring:

• Teaching experience within a school setting, with relevant qualifications and expertise in supporting diverse learners; postgraduate study in Special Education, Curriculum or Pedagogy is desirable


• The ability to design and deliver targeted learning support using data, professional judgement and evidence-informed practice


• Well-developed interpersonal and communication skills, with the capacity to build trust, collaborate effectively and engage confidently with students, staff and families


• A demonstrated commitment to child safety, inclusion, and student wellbeing, supported by current VIT registration


• A solutions-focused, growth-oriented mindset and the capacity to uphold high professional standards
