Join our community

Let's Rise Together.

We are looking for educators who want to teach because they love it. And who want to grow, lead, and belong to a community that values them.

What you’ll get

A structured PLD pathway. A professional community. Distributed leadership. And the freedom to teach.

What we look for

The Cosmos educator.

These are the qualities we prioritise — across every role, from EY1 to Grade 6.

  • A love of children

    You see every child as a person, not a data point. You meet children where they are and build from there.

  • A belief in teaching as craft

    You care about how you teach, not just what you teach. You read the research. You refine your practice. You want to be better next year.

  • Evidence-aligned thinking

    You trust what works — Hattie, Rosenshine, Lemov, the EEF — and you can translate research into classroom moves.

  • Collaborative instinct

    You value your colleagues. You share what works, you ask for help, you give honest feedback. You understand that a school is a team.

  • A growth mindset for yourself

    You are still learning. You can be coached. You welcome a framework like L.E.A.D.E.R. because it gives you a clear path forward.

  • The S.H.I.N.E. expectations

    Share openly · Honour commitments · Inquire deeply · Nurture relationships · Empower growth. Our five observable professional expectations for educators.

How to apply

Our hiring process.

Hiring at Cosmos is a conversation, not a funnel. Four steps, honestly run.

  • Express interest

    Send a CV, a covering letter, and a short video (2–3 minutes) introducing yourself — tell us what drew you to Cosmos.

  • Conversation

    A 45-minute conversation with the Principal (Academics) and the Year Group Lead for the phase you’re applying to.

  • Teach a lesson

    A 30-minute live lesson with a real class. We’ll give you the year group, the topic, and a 48-hour prep window.

  • Decision

    We decide within a week. If you’re offered, you’ll meet the educators you’ll work with, see your future classroom, and take a walk around the school.

Current openings are listed on our LinkedIn and on the Careers page inside Cosmos One. To start a conversation, email careers@cosmosprimary.com with your CV and short video.

We hire year-round — for replacement roles, for new positions as the school grows, and for leadership roles when existing educators progress through L.E.A.D.E.R. stages.

Our compensation is tied to L.E.A.D.E.R. stage, not years of service. Moving stage is about evidence of practice. Pay rises with progression — and progression is transparent.
