The Role

Are you a passionate and innovative music educator ready to build something special? Bertram PS is ideally seeking an enthusiastic, skilled and creative Music Teacher to establish and lead a vibrant, engaging and sustainable whole‐school music program.

This is an exciting opportunity for an educator with vision, initiative and a genuine passion for music education to shape a program from the ground up. We are looking for someone who can inspire a love of music in our students, build their musical knowledge and skills, and create opportunities for them to discover, develop and celebrate their talents.

The successful applicant would design and deliver a high‐quality, sequential music program aligned with the Western Australian Curriculum, providing engaging and inclusive learning experiences across the primary years.

They should have the capacity to establish strong foundations in music education while developing a longer‐term vision for music at Bertram PS. We are particularly interested in applicants who could bring energy, creativity and leadership to the role, with the ability to explore and develop opportunities such as choirs, instrumental music, ensembles, performances and community events as the program grows.





- Strong curriculum knowledge and effective teaching practices that engage students of diverse abilities, backgrounds and musical experience.
- The capacity to plan, implement and evaluate a sequential music program that builds students' skills, confidence, creativity and enjoyment.
- Initiative, organisational skills and a clear vision for establishing and progressively developing a whole‐school music program.
- The ability to identify and nurture student talents while ensuring music is accessible, enjoyable and inclusive for all students.
- Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build positive relationships with students, colleagues, families and the wider community.
- A willingness to contribute to the broader life of the school through performances, celebrations, collaborative projects and enrichment opportunities.

We are seeking someone who ideally sees music as more than a curriculum area. We would like an educator who recognises its power to build confidence, creativity, connection and belonging, and who is excited by the opportunity to make music an integral and celebrated part of our school culture.
