Material Institute's flagship program 24 Carrot Gardens (24CG) supports school kitchen garden programs in 24 partner primary + high schools across Tasmania. 24CG's programs deliver hands-on, garden-to-plate lessons to whole classes and/or smaller groups of young learners in the authentic setting of the school kitchen + garden.

Our school kitchen garden specialists apply their food growing and/or cooking skills, plus an understanding of how to engage + support diverse learners, to deliver hands-on pleasurable food education to students in our partner primary + high schools. Specialists are employed by DECYP as Teacher Assistants and are supported by a program Lead Teacher and the 24CG team.

24CG partner schools are generally situated in the Glenorchy, Clarence + Brighton regions in southern Tasmania, and between Burnie + Launceston in the north.

From time to time, our partner schools advise 24CG that they have a kitchen garden program vacancy to fill. 24CG supports schools by selecting candidates from this EOI register and getting in touch to check their current capacity. 24CG will then collate a list of candidates for the school to consider. 

If you're seeking part time work- usually two school days per week during school terms- and think you have the requisite qualities we'd love to hear from you via this EOI. 24CG will get in touch with you if a school role emerges for which we think you might be suited.

Preference will be given to people who have some experience working in schools, or transferable skills in learning and/or support. Please note that by submitting your EOI, you give MI permission to hold your details on its EOI register until such time that you notify MI that you no longer wish to be considered for the roles.
