How to apply
Complete our online application form, the ThriveEd Teaching Expression of Interest Form:
https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/H2xrYt3tsg
The form is your chance to tell us about your teaching experience and show us how you would approach real classroom scenarios, so please don’t rush it. Take your time, give it genuine thought, and give us enough information to get to know you. Applications that stand out are the ones that go beyond a sentence or two. We recommend a laptop or desktop rather than a phone, as several questions are longer-form. We carefully read every single application: this is not a black hole for CVs.
Please answer in your own words. We use advanced detection software to identify AI-generated responses, and applications found to be AI-generated are automatically declined.
If your application stands out, we’ll invite you to complete a psychometric assessment. This evaluates how you approach novel situations, solve problems, and think critically, qualities we consider essential in our environment. You’ll also attach your CV at this stage. From there, successful candidates are invited to an interview at the school. We conduct thorough reference checks as a final step.
