To work at St Joseph’s is to join a committed, compassionate, and collaborative team whose task is to ‘challenge and empower students to be creative and critical thinkers who act with strength and kindliness in the Gospel tradition’.
Why join the St Joseph’s College Catholic learning community?
Our College motto ‘Strength and Kindliness’ comes to life in each staff member as they demonstrate the strength to do their job well and the kindliness to undertake it with compassion.
​
As such, all staff members at St Joseph’s are committed to being open, honest and robust in exploring challenging and innovative possibilities that lead to school improvement.
​
We work hard to develop students not only academically but also physically, emotionally and morally. It is rewarding to observe these young adults moving on to the next phase of their lives as well-rounded individuals who possess the necessary skills to achieve goals and make good choices.
​
St Joseph’s College is constantly striving to improve educational opportunities and outcomes for the students entrusted to our care.
Our subject teachers are inspirational people, who plan for and implement programs to encourage and support students to learn and to grow in the various subject disciplines. Our allied support staff are critical to the success of our educational programs by providing support to staff and students as well as vital stewardship of our resources.
Employer of Choice
​
St Joseph’s College is a vibrant community of people and personalities. We currently have over 960 students and 140 staff but significant population growth in the region and increased demand for Catholic education predicts significant growth in these figures over the coming years. Of those 140 staff, 91 hold teaching positions and 50 are allied staff, in a mixture of full-time and part-time roles.
We pride ourselves on being an employer of choice, and we have the data to back that up, as 50% of our staff have been with the school for more than five years and 25% have been with the school for more than a decade.
​
We may be a large school, but we think of St Joseph’s College as a big family and that is true in more ways than one, with 34% of staff related to another staff member or at least one student, and 14% of staff who are former students. Not only are our staff members loyal, but they are also some of the most highly qualified in the sector with 26% holding a Masters Degree or above, and 30% holding a Graduate Certificate or above.
