Apply for teaching jobs
Once you have submitted your application for graduate teacher recruitment, you are also eligible to apply for advertised permanent teaching positions. These vacancies are published on Wednesdays at www.jobs.det.nsw.edu.au. If you are the successful applicant for an advertised position, your appointment is subject to you fulfilling all recruitment requirements prior to your entry on duty.
Casual and temporary teaching opportunities are advertised weekly at www.teach.nsw.edu.au/vacancies. Many principals use this site to source teachers for temporary employment of up to 12 months to cover the long term leave of permanent teachers so it is worth checking this site regularly.
You may also apply for casual teaching jobs by contacting schools individually and advising them of your availability to teach.
An interim casual approval is issued whilst the DET is awaiting advice from the NSW Institute of Teachers that you have completed all course requirements. This enables you to teach casually. You will be paid at a rate one level below your beginning salary as a new graduate, until you receive your full approval to teach. When you receive your full approval to teach, you will receive back pay for any work undertaken after the date stated on your approval letter as your priority date, usually 1 July for mid year finishers and 1 December for end of year graduates
