For teachers

Your career deserves a partner, not a database.

Armitage Collective is a curated network of Victorian teachers. Joining means one recruiter who knows you, introductions only to schools where you’d genuinely thrive, and a CV that never goes anywhere without your say-so.

What joining means

Six promises, and I keep all of them.

  1. You’re a person, not a record

    We start with a proper conversation about what you teach, how you teach, and what your next chapter needs to look like. That’s what gets you matched. A person makes every decision about who hears about what, not a system.

  2. We match needs, not job specs

    A move only gets put in front of you when the school’s needs and yours genuinely align. That’s why placements made here tend to last.

  3. You get the full picture before you decide

    The school, the team, the students, the timetable and the catch. All of it up front, so you never spend an evening on an application for something that was never right for you.

  4. Nothing moves without your permission

    Your CV is never sent to a school, ever, without a phone call to you first. Discretion is the default, especially if you’re currently employed and would rather your principal heard it from you.

  5. Honest advice, even when it’s “stay put”

    If the right move is no move, I’ll say so. This is a long-term relationship, not a transaction, and it only works if you can trust the advice when it costs me a fee.

  6. You will never be asked for money

    At no point will I ask you for a payment of any kind. Not to register, not to be put forward, not when you start. Schools pay the fee, teachers never do.

What we place

Classroom to leadership, right across Victoria.

Permanent, ongoing and fixed term roles across primary and secondary. Classroom teaching through to heads of faculty and school leadership. Independent, Catholic, government and special education schools across Melbourne and Victoria.

If you teach something hard to fill, VCE sciences, maths, languages, Product Design, Learning Diversity, you are in a stronger position than you think. Those are the roles schools call me about first.

Moving at leadership level?

Deputy and principal-level moves need a different kind of care. Quiet conversations, no advertising, no CV in circulation, and nothing that starts your name moving around the sector before you are ready.

How leadership search works

Coming to Melbourne from overseas?

Teachers from the UK, Ireland, Canada, the USA and New Zealand are a real part of this network. I’d rather talk to you six months before you fly than the week after you land. Most are placed before they arrive.

Registration

Join the Collective.

Five minutes now, and you’re on the radar for roles that never make it to an ad. No live role that fits? Register anyway. The best placements usually start months before the vacancy exists.

Schools run 8 to 4 and so do their problems. Tell me when suits and I will ring then.
So you never hear about a role in Geelong when you live in Ivanhoe.
Optional. Attach it if you have one to hand, or leave it and we will talk first. PDF or Word, up to 20MB.

What happens next. I read every registration myself, and you will hear back from me either way, including when the answer is that I have nothing for you right now. Nothing is sent anywhere in the meantime.

Talk first, no CV

Your details stay inside Armitage Collective. Never sold, never shared with a school without your explicit OK. Ask me to delete your record any time and I act on it straight away. How your details are handled.

Welcome in.

I review every registration personally and you’ll hear back from me either way. In the meantime you’re on the list that hears about roles first.

Nothing moves without your say-so

Not looking right now?

That’s usually the best time to have the conversation. No pitch, no pressure, and nothing goes anywhere without your say-so.
