Job description

Join Our Team: School Photographer (Victoria)

Casual | Field-Based | Melbourne Metro & Regional VIC

For over 40 years, The School Photographer has been a proud, family-run Australian business capturing the moments that matter for families across the country. We're the ones behind the smiles in millions of school photos — and we're looking for our next great addition to the Victorian team.

If you're a people person who loves working with kids, thrives on early starts, and wants a job that's never the same day twice, keep reading.

The Role

This is a customer-facing, field-based role where you'll travel to schools across Melbourne Metro and Regional Victoria to photograph students and staff for our school photography products. You'll split your time between hands-on photography and administrative tasks, working with everyone from individual students to groups of 50+.

No two days look the same — one day you might be photographing a primary school, the next a formal Year 12 group. It's fast-paced, rewarding, and genuinely fun.

What You'll Bring

• A friendly, easy-going demeanour — especially with children
• The ability to pick up new skills quickly
• Independence and a proactive attitude
• Strong time management and the ability to work under pressure
• A team-player mindset
• A process-driven approach — you follow instructions accurately and consistently
• Punctuality and a well-presented, professional appearance
• Physical fitness (this role involves lifting and carrying equipment, often upstairs)
• Basic computer skills

Photography experience is a bonus, not a requirement — we'll teach you the technical side. What matters most is your attitude and how you work with people.

What's On Offer

• Tolls reimbursed for all work-related travel
• Casual work during school terms, with flexible day-to-day rostering
• Hands-on training — no prior photography experience needed
• The chance to be part of a genuinely supportive, established team, with ongoing mentorship and opportunities to grow your skills
• Varied, active work — no two days are the same

Training

We'll set you up for success before you start. Training is provided ahead of the role, plus ongoing support once you're out in the field — with an initial one-week training program held in January in Werribee.

Good to Know

• This role is casual, during school terms only, tapering off in the second half of the year
• You'll need availability Monday to Friday on a changing roster, during and around school hours
• A current driver's licence and reliable, registered, and insured car are essential
• A current Working With Children Check is required
• A verified Police Check is required
• Travel is required across Melbourne Metro and on occasion Regional Victoria
