Application Process

Covenant Christian School works hard to ensure the selection process is as transparent, fair, thorough and straightforward as possible. Every time a role is advertised, a contact is provided for applicants who require further information or clarification about the position. 

Covenant only employs committed Christians from a reformed evangelical persuasion. Your Christian faith will be explored as part of the application and interview process.

To assist with the Employment Application Form and potential interviews, it is recommended that all candidates read through the important documents on our Recommended Readings page. 

All applications for roles at Covenant, including casual positions, need to include the following documentation:

1. Employment Application Form - include your statement of Christian faith (and for teachers only evidence of your NESA Accreditation status)
2. Your resume - covering your qualifications, work history and any theological or Bible training you have undertaken
3. For executive positions only, please include a brief application letter addressing your fit for the position (with reference to the key requirements / responsibilities)    
4. A recently written reference from your church minister or pastor outlining your attendance and involvement in the life of your church.
5. A CERTIFIED copy of your Academic Transcript (or bring original with you to an interview)
6. Working With Children Check number (www.kids.nsw.edu.au)

Please contact the HR Manager at admin@covenant.nsw.edu.au or 02 8459 4200 if you need assistance with your application.

Interviews

Your application will be considered after the closing date. Your suitability for the role will be looked at in light of the job description, experience, qualification and skills requirements of the role. Interviews will be offered to the best suited candidates.

Interviews are generally conducted with a small panel of interviewers and preferred candidates will attend a second interview. 

For roles reporting directly to the Principal, an interview with a panel of School Board members will also be part of the selection process.

Questions may include: Christian beliefs, work history, professional knowledge, performance and achievements, your  work style, key capabilities and development areas.  

Once the interview process is complete, as the preferred candidate, we will arrange to speak with your professional and minister or pastor's referees. As the preferred candidate you will be required to submit to a NSW Working with Children Check for verification before employment commences.
