Love creating content that makes people stop scrolling?
We're looking for a talented, creative and trend-savvy Social Content Creator to join our growing Top Teacher team! If you love Instagram, have a flair for modern, engaging video editing and are always spotting the next great content idea, we'd love to hear from you.
We're after someone who knows how to turn a simple idea into content people actually want to watch. Someone who understands current trends, strong hooks, clever editing and how to make content feel fresh, fun and relevant.
At Top Teacher, we create teaching resources, digital tools and inspiring ideas for a large community of Australian teachers. You'll work as part of a creative team, turning great ideas into engaging content, whether that's a practical classroom tip, a funny teacher moment, a behind-the-scenes look at Top Teacher or a creative way to showcase our resources.
We'd especially love to hear from teachers and educators who understand what makes teachers laugh, what makes their lives easier and what stops them scrolling.
A teaching qualification or classroom experience is highly desirable, but we're also open to outstanding content creators who genuinely understand our teacher audience.
You'll enjoy creating content both behind and in front of the camera. Appearing on camera regularly will be an important part of this role, whether that's introducing content, participating in team videos, getting involved in social trends or bringing a creative idea to life. We're looking for someone who is genuinely confident, comfortable and enjoys being on camera, as well as the filming and editing that happens behind the scenes.
What you'll be doing
- Brainstorming, planning, filming and editing engaging content for Instagram and TikTok, with Instagram as our primary focus.
- Creating Reels, Stories, carousels, photography and short-form videos that feel fresh, creative and relevant.
- Taking content from an initial idea through filming and editing to a polished, ready-to-publish piece.
- Using modern editing techniques, creative transitions, text animations, music and sound effects to bring content to life.
- Finding practical teaching ideas, classroom inspiration and relatable experiences that our teacher community will love.
- Showcasing Top Teacher resources through creative demonstrations, activities and useful teaching tips.
- Working with the Top Teacher team to capture their knowledge, ideas and personalities and turn them into engaging content.
- Regularly appearing on camera in Reels, team discussions, social trends and other creative content.
- Keeping up with emerging social trends and finding clever ways to make them relevant to our audience.
- Capturing behind-the-scenes moments, team activities and everyday life at Top Teacher.
- Reviewing content performance and using insights to help shape future ideas.
- Working closely with our Marketing team on campaigns, shoots and content initiatives.
- Occasionally attending conferences and events to capture content and connect with our community.
About you
You'll thrive in this role if you:
- Have strong, creative and contemporary video editing skills. You understand pacing, transitions, text animations, music, sound effects and visual storytelling, and know how to create polished, engaging content.
- Love Instagram and TikTok and are across the latest trends. You naturally spot emerging content styles and know how to adapt them creatively rather than simply copying what's popular.
- Have a great creative eye. You understand filming angles, composition, lighting and how to make even a simple idea look fantastic.
- Know what makes content perform. You understand strong hooks, watch time, engagement and what makes people stop scrolling.
- Are confident and genuinely enjoy being on camera. You're comfortable regularly appearing in videos, introducing content, participating in team discussions and getting involved in creative ideas.
- Are creative, warm, fun and naturally engaging, with a great sense of humour.
- Enjoy collaborating with others, asking questions and bringing out their ideas and personalities.
- Are full of fresh ideas, proactive and confident taking ownership of content from concept through to finished product.
- Are organised and comfortable working in a fast-paced, creative environment.
- Have a genuine passion for education and supporting teachers. You love the idea of creating content that inspires teachers, makes their lives easier and brings a little fun to their day.
A teaching qualification and/or classroom teaching experience would be a huge advantage! We'd especially love to hear from teachers who have a passion and talent for content creation and are looking to explore a creative career outside the classroom.
However, teaching experience isn't essential. What matters most is your creativity, modern editing skills, confidence and enthusiasm for creating exceptional social content.
The role
This is a part-time position of 2–3 days per week, depending on the successful candidate and their availability. We're based in Perth, WA, and this is a predominantly in-office role. Filming, brainstorming and collaboration are a big part of what we do, so you'll work closely with our Marketing team to bring ideas to life.
It's a genuinely fun, creative and hands-on role. One day you might be filming a practical classroom activity, the next capturing a funny moment with the team or finding a creative way to bring a teaching resource to life.
You'll have the opportunity to bring your own ideas to the table, experiment with different content styles and take ownership of your creative work.
This could also be a fantastic fit for a teacher looking to step away from the classroom, reduce their teaching days or explore a completely different creative career in education.
Why join Top Teacher?
At Top Teacher, we're passionate about making teachers' lives easier through high-quality teaching resources, digital tools and inspiring ideas. Our social channels are an important part of how we connect with teachers, and you'll have the opportunity to help shape what we create and how our brand shows up online.
We want our content to mean something to teachers. Whether they're discovering a practical classroom idea, finding a resource that makes their day easier or simply enjoying a relatable teacher moment, we want them to walk away with something valuable.
You'll be part of a supportive, creative team with plenty of freedom to bring your own personality and ideas to work. We love experimenting with content, celebrating what works and having plenty of fun along the way.
And yes, we have a well-stocked snack drawer, bagels and coffee at our Monday team meetings and a team that genuinely enjoys working together!
You'll also get to create content for a large community of teachers across Australia and see your ideas come to life, reaching teachers around the country.

[email protected] with:
- Your CV.
- A short cover letter telling us a little about you, why this role caught your attention and why you think you'd be a great fit.
