The Sovereign Hill Museums Association is a dynamic group of museums comprising of the Sovereign Hill Outdoor Museum, Gold Museum and Narmbool. Our purpose at Sovereign Hill and the Gold Museum is to inspire an understanding of the significance of the central Victorian gold rushes in Australia’s national story, and at Narmbool of the importance of the land, water and biodiversity in Australia’s future.
Sovereign Hill Education designs and delivers face-to-face teaching programs tailored to suit the specific learning agendas of school groups and their teachers from Prep to VCE and Tertiary. Our education programs align with the AusVELS.
Expressions of Interest are sought from suitably qualified and experienced teachers for Casual Relief Teaching opportunities in Sovereign Hill’s famous costumed school program.
This is not a normal teaching job! As a CRT, you will be orchestrating a two-day costumed role-play experience where children are fully immersed in the 1850s, learning about manners, costume, behaviour and re-living the discipline of school life on the goldfields.
This job requires a reasonable level of physical fitness and much of the work will be outdoors. The ability to work Monday to Friday and at short notice is also necessary.
Sovereign Hill’s education programs are based on a commitment to the principles of student-centred learning and an understanding of how people learn in informal settings.
The successful applicant will be expected to deliver programs which engage primary and secondary students’ imaginations and thinking processes through creative, ‘hands-on’ learning.
If you have a love for Australian history, are happy to don 1850s costume and ‘perform’ in historically correct ways, this may be the CRT job for you! For full details on the position including the position description and key selection criteria, and information on how to apply please visit our website.
Applicants must be eligible to work in Australia and appointment is subject to satisfactory Police Record and Working with Children Check.
