Maitland is a growing and vibrant city located in the beautiful
Lower Hunter Valley in regional NSW. It offers a picturesque rural
setting combined with excellent community facilities that make it
an attractive regional location. With proximity to Newcastle and
nearness to Sydney, all of the benefits of regional NSW living are
available while accessing more extensive city opportunities.

With solid growth in the quality and reputation of the School in
the local community, student numbers, organisational capacity
and facilities are rapidly expanding. Maitland Christian School is
excited to be seeking expressions of interest for the role of Head of
Technologies (expected to be Coordinator 3) commencing at the
start of the 2022 school year.

This executive position has come about due to the current staff
member moving into a pastoral care role at the School after many
years of outstanding service in the teaching of Food Technology.
The role is ideally suited to a candidate with the skillset to lead the
team, either as an experienced leader or a high performing
teacher who is an emerging leader keen to consider their first
leadership role.

Salary and Considerations
Reasonable relocation costs will be available to assist the right
applicant should this be required. Requests for further
information should be directed to:
jobs@maitlandcs.nsw.edu.au

Salary will align with NSW Christian Schools Teaching Staff
Multi-Enterprise Agreement 2018-2020, at the successful
applicant's level of responsibility and experience. Given the
size of the School at present and the supporting leadership
structure, a teaching load will form part of the role.

Following the close of applications, the School's Selection
Committee will consider applications and prepare a shortlist of
candidates for interview. The School may move quicker to
interview highly suitable applicants. It is expected that at least
one round of interviews will be undertaken with the successful
applicant appointed to the School staff, commencing duties at
the beginning of Term One 2022.
