Graduate Recruitment Program

We know how important teachers are in making a difference to students’ learning.

A passionate dedicated teacher can make a difference to children’s lives and lay the foundations for building a better world.

This is why Catholic Education Diocese of Parramatta is committed to attracting only the best teachers to work in our schools.

How it Works

the Graduate Recruitment Program is run on an annual basis
application forms are given out to 4th year university students when staff visit the various campuses or can be downloaded below
applicants are then short-listed
short-listed students are contacted for an interview
upon completion of the interview, successful applicants will be placed on a register which will be forwarded to all schools
As positions become available within schools, resumes will be forwarded to those schools for consideration.

Criteria & Description

University students selected through our Graduate Recruitment Program have a chance of gaining a teaching position in one of our schools. We will work to find the school that is most appropriate for you.

Graduates from all Sydney metropolitan and regional universities are welcome to apply providing they are willing to work in one of our schools within the Parramatta Diocese.

In selecting recipients for this program the interview panel will consider such things as:

the applicant’s understanding of the mission of Catholic schools
what the applicant can offer as a teacher in a Parramatta Diocesan school
the applicant’s academic results
the quality of the applicant’s field-based reports and/or evidence of teacher potential
qualifications or willingness to obtain qualification to teach Religious Education
referee reports
the applicant’s ability to articulate an understanding of syllabus documents
the applicants personal qualities and leadership potential
whether the applicant could fulfil the specific needs of Catholic schools in the Diocese of Parramatta (e.g. teaching subjects, desire/willingness to teach in areas of teacher shortage, etc.)

Child Protection - Working with Children Check

NSW Child Protection legislation requires child-related employers, such as Catholic Education Parramatta, to conduct thorough background and probity checks in relation to those who are entering into paid employment that may involve direct, unsupervised contact with children and young people.

It is therefore necessary for a potential employee of our system of schools to complete and return a Working with Children Check Applicant Declaration and Consent form.
