Working at Emmaus

Dedicated and passionate Christian professionals are invited to apply to join us in achieving our mission to provide an education where Christ is at the centre and where young people thrive.

Emmaus Christian College is a Christ-centred school. It is essential that our staff profess a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and a deep desire to serve Him. We encourage our staff to focus on building relationships first and foremost, to embody our core values of faith, learning, community and service.

We ask that applicants demonstrate:

• Suitable qualifications and experience
• Christian faith with a deep desire to serve Jesus Christ as Lord
• Regular church attendance
• Agreement with our Statement of Life and Conduct Policy
• A current WWCC to work with children

Our community is extremely stable and long-serving, representing a high degree of staff satisfaction and demonstrates the College as an employer of choice.

A Christian Community

As an authentic Christian community, our staff members enjoy the Christian fellowship, friendship and support of one another both in the areas of faith and team work.

Each week, all staff have an opportunity to gather together in Christian fellowship through devotions, prayer and worship. This is a time of refreshment and encouragement as we are reminded of God’s truth in the Bible and the testimony of others’ faith in Christ. We believe this dedicated time is essential to maintaining and reinforcing our core belief that Jesus Christ is Lord, both corporately and individually.

A Place of Purpose

More than a place of employment, Emmaus Christian College provides a place of purpose; founded on the Bible. Many of our staff feel called to work at Emmaus as an outworking of their faith; a ministry to young people. Staff are passionate about inspiring young people to grow and mature into young adults understanding their personal worth in light of God's love in Jesus Christ.

Professional Development Opportunities

• We encourage our staff to take opportunities to maintain and advance in their qualifications, skills and knowledge of their professional field.
• We provide dedicated staff professional development opportunities.
  
• Seminars and networking opportunities through associations and professional bodies such as Christian Schools Australia (CSA), EducatePlus and AISSA.
• We support teachers to undertake study that meets College criteria.
