Information for Teachers

Why become a member – what’s in it for you . . . .

Your teaching preferences are paramount to us. Happy, confident CRTs do a better job. Therefore we want to know what you want, so we can deliver. You determine what grades, what schools, and how far you’ll travel, you decide what days you want to work, what volume of work you want, and if you’ll accept half days. Schools have all kinds of needs and everyone has a role to play no matter how small in helping us meet those needs.

Confidentiality guaranteed . . .

Your preferences are confidential so you’ve no worries about offending a school or being ‘put on the spot’. MOSAIC is a centralized point of contact between all our schools and teachers. You only have to communicate with one person instead of a multitude making life easier. Image of an Apple, Bell & Books

In pursuit of the best outcomes . . .

Working directly with schools can be tricky. Principals and vice-principals have highly demanding jobs so in many cases their main objective in filling staff vacancies, is to fill them as quickly as possible, especially if it's first thing in the morning when they're trying to get ready for work. With this in mind, if a CRT is unavailable too often, their position on the list drops only because the school rings those who were more readily available first. Not so when working with MOSAIC. While time is certainly a factor, this is our primary job and we are much better equipped to quickly pin point not only who's available for the job, but the best person for the job. Knowing your preferences helps us immensely to get the best outcomes not only for you and the schools, but the students as well.

Our reward . . .

Fees for using our service are pro rata, small and best of all, tax deductible. Membership with MOSAIC is free and you only pay MOSAIC a small reward for the work we provide. It’s tax deductible so you can claim it on your tax return. You will have access to all the schools we service (provided they are happy with your work), plus you are free to work for other non-member schools. You will know many of your bookings in advance.

Our Relationship with you . . .

MOSAIC is a specialist booking agency for replacement teachers. We coordinate the staffing of emergency and short term contract vacancies in schools. We are not a recruitment agency and therefore do not employ our member teachers. As an employee of the schools, you will be covered under their Workcover and liability policies, and it is the school who will pay your wages and superannuation.

Access all areas . . . .

MOSAIC is all about choice. You choose how you want to work. We have the potential to broaden your access to more schools, offer a diversity in working environments or offer a very select, small and personal working environment. Your work can become more exciting with the change of grades and schools, or more personal if you’d prefer. MOSAIC is convenient because once you've been accepted by the school, the choice is yours.
