About Us

It’s no exaggeration to say teachers and social workers can change a person’s life. They inspire, mentor and offer guidance that can influence the path taken. With so much at stake, organisations and industry professionals depend on education and social work recruitment agency that not only understands the nuances of these sectors but can help them grow and achieve their goals. Tradewind Australia is an education and social work recruiter who has the ability, knowledge and integrity to do just that. 

We opened the doors to our Melbourne-based office in 2000 and quickly cemented our position as leading social work and teaching recruitment specialists across Victoria. Since establishing ourselves as experts in recruiting for education and social work jobs, we’ve been able to expand our areas of expertise into two supplementary markets: Allied Health and Corporate Services. From support workers to principals, CRTs to social workers (and everything in between), we can connect you with Melbourne’s best opportunities, and the market’s top available talent.

We are one of the few education recruitment agencies to offer a comprehensive professional development program for Casual Relief Teachers (CRTs), supporting teachers to build their skills, confidence and careers. In fact, we are now established as one of the leading suppliers of high-calibre casual relief teachers in Victoria today, when it comes to CRT jobs, our track record speaks for itself.

Our approach to recruitment is grounded in our values: Our Word Is Our Bond, Serve As You Wish To Be Served, Invest in Long-Term Relationships, and Take Personal Responsibility. These values shape how we support candidates and clients across Education, Social and Community Services, Corporate Services and Executive recruitment throughout Australia. That’s why we go the extra mile to deliver on our promises and exceed expectations. If you’re looking for an education and social work recruitment agency that prides itself on having the highest standards, then you need to look no further.
