At G8 Education, we understand the time and effort you go to when applying for new positions and we understand the process can feel overwhelming and daunting at times. Our goal is to make our recruitment process as quick and straightforward as possible, whilst ensuring you feel informed and valued throughout the entire process.
Now that you have submitted your application, one of our talent consultants will review your application and experience against the requirements of the position.
We may be in touch via email or phone to discuss your application further, so please keep an eye on your emails and look out for text messages from G8!
A key component of our recruitment process is the interview. This is where you will meet the Hiring Manager for the first time and is a great opportunity for you to find out more about the role, team and the Centre.
Generally, this will be done in person in Centre, or in some cases virtually.
The Talent Team will be in contact with you within a few days of the interview to confirm the outcome. If you are successful to progress, we will contact your referees to confirm your employment history. For some roles, a background check may also be required.
Once finalised, we will issue you an online employment contract and get you all set for your first day!
Our team will aim to get back to you as quickly as possible, however you can check the status of your application at any time through our applicant portal. Just go to the applicant login page on our website to view the progress of your applications.
You can also sign up to job alerts and see your 'favourite' jobs on our applicant login page.

Through G8 Education’s 'Growing Together, Connecting Knowledge' RAP artwork animation, we share the narrative of our reconciliation journey and extend an open invitation for all to join in the endeavour of walking, learning and growing together toward a future of unity and mutual understanding.
The exquisite RAP artwork is by Elaine Chambers-Hegarty from Cultural Grounding. The work beautifully brings together elements of children, families, educators, communities, and the diversity of the geographic reach of G8 Education centres: urban, coastal, regional and rural. Motifs in the work also represent knowledge, learning and care.
