Head of Faculty – English

Mornington Peninsula | Full-Time, Ongoing | Commencing Term 1, 2027

• Ready to Lead English?
• Are you already an English leader or an outstanding Year 12 English teacher ready for your first formal leadership opportunity?

AnchorEd is searching for an exceptional Head of Faculty – English for a highly regarded independent Christian school on the Mornington Peninsula.

And importantly, you don’t need to already be a Head of Faculty.

We want to hear from both established English leaders and talented Year 12 English teachers who are ready to step up, lead colleagues and help shape the direction of English teaching across the Secondary School.

If you’ve built strong credibility in the classroom, understand senior English and Literature, enjoy supporting other teachers and have been thinking “I’m ready to lead” — this could be your opportunity.

You’ll combine faculty leadership with active classroom teaching, giving you the chance to lead people, influence curriculum and improve student outcomes while staying connected to the part of the job you love teaching English.

The Opportunity

As Head of Faculty – English, you will:

• Lead and coordinate the Secondary English faculty
• Teach Secondary English and Literature
• Provide leadership across curriculum, assessment and reporting
• Mentor, support and develop teachers within the faculty
• Champion engaging, differentiated and contemporary teaching practices
• Contribute to teaching and learning strategy across the Secondary School
• Support students academically, personally and spiritually
• Work collaboratively with senior school leaders and colleagues
• Participate actively in the broader life of the school, including pastoral and co-curricular activities

Who Should Apply?

We’d particularly like to hear from:

• Current Heads of English, English Coordinators or faculty leaders looking for their next opportunity
• Strong Year 12 English teachers ready to take their first formal leadership step
• Experienced English and Literature teachers with the credibility and enthusiasm to lead and mentor colleagues
• Educators passionate about curriculum, contemporary teaching and improving student outcomes
• Teachers who enjoy collaboration and working within a strong professional team

You’ll ideally bring:

✔ Strong Secondary English teaching experience, including Year 12
✔ English and/or Literature curriculum expertise
✔ Existing leadership experience or the potential and desire to step into leadership
✔ Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
✔ A collaborative and people-focused approach
✔ Current VIT Registration
✔ Full Australian working rights
✔ A genuine and active commitment to Christian faith and education

Why This Opportunity?

This is more than a title. It’s an opportunity to have a genuine influence on the direction of English teaching within a thriving school community.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Step into a genuine faculty leadership position
• Lead and influence English teaching across the Secondary School
• Remain actively connected to students through classroom teaching
• Mentor and develop fellow educators
• Help shape curriculum and contemporary teaching practice
• Work within a supportive and collaborative leadership structure
• Grow professionally and spiritually
• Join a strong Christian school community
• Work in a beautiful Mornington Peninsula location
• Contribute to a school focused on student growth, wellbeing and lifelong learning

Ready to Take the Next Step?

Already leading? We’d love to talk.

A strong Year 12 English teacher ready to lead? We’d love to talk to you too.

This could be the opportunity to take everything you’ve developed in the classroom and use it to influence an entire English faculty.
