Join Victoria’s largest independent child welfare organisation and become a vital part of a team that never gives up doing whatever it takes for kids. We believe everyone should have a good childhood, growing up in families and communities where they feel safe, nurtured and have hope for the future.
The Berry Street School is a specialist independent school consisting of four campuses based in Shepparton, Morwell, Ballarat and Noble Park. We provide a Victorian Curriculum and VCAL program for students aged 12 to 18 years.
Are you passionate about alternative education and determined to see change for young people with complex educational needs?

The school currently has an enrolment of approximately 35 students, and delivers a trauma-informed education model. The school offers Years 7 – 10 and a VCAL program.

Following a restructure to the campus, we are looking for a number of new staff within our teaching and wellbeing programs.
We are looking for an exceptional classroom teacher, who has a strong understanding of the delivery of trauma-informed education and knowledge of the welfare system. The successful candidate will have demonstrated experience in the development and delivery of differentiated curriculum leading to improved student outcomes.
