Each job posting is an open position at the school. The form captures the role description, requirements, application instructions and posting metadata.
Creating a posting
Go to Jobs → New posting.
Fields
- Title — the role as it appears in listings (e.g. Year 7 Mathematics Teacher, IT Support Officer).
- Role type — the category (Teaching, Administration, IT, etc.). See Role types and reviewing applications.
- Description — the body of the listing. Supports formatted text (headings, bullets, links). Include:
- Position summary.
- Key responsibilities.
- Selection criteria.
- Salary range or band.
- Term (permanent, fixed-term, casual).
- Start date.
- Application instructions (e.g. attach a CV, address selection criteria).
- Application deadline — the date applications close. After this date, the posting is hidden from new applicants.
- Contact — name and email of the hiring contact for queries.
- Attachments — optional supporting documents (position description PDF, selection criteria template).
Posting visibility
- Visible to staff (internal) — appears on the staff dashboard.
- Visible publicly (external) — appears on the public careers page via the Jobs API.
- Both — visible to staff and to the public.
A new posting starts as Draft (not visible to anyone). Switch to one of the visibility options when ready.
Editing a posting
Open the posting from the list and edit any field. Changes take effect immediately.
If the role description changes substantially after the posting has gone live, consider:
- Re-circulating to existing applicants so they can update their application.
- Extending the deadline so they have time to respond.
- Cancelling and re-posting if the change is so substantial that the original posting is misleading.
Closing a posting
Two ways:
- Set the application deadline to today (or the past) — the posting auto-closes.
- Set visibility to Draft — the posting is hidden from both internal and public listings.
Closing doesn’t delete the posting — the record stays for audit and to keep the applications attached.
Copying a posting
For recurring roles (e.g. a casual relief teacher role that you post every term):
- Find the posting in the list.
- Choose Copy.
- Edit the new copy — update the deadline and any changed details.
- Post.
The copy keeps the description, role type, attachments and contact details. Applications don’t carry across.
Deleting
Delete only for postings created in error. Deletion removes the posting and all attached applications, which is usually not what you want. Closing is almost always the better choice.
Tips
- Write the description with the candidate in mind. Short, scannable bullets are more useful than long paragraphs.
- Include a clear closing date. Applications close 5 pm Friday 30 May 2026 is unambiguous.
- Attach the position description. A PDF gives candidates something to download and read carefully — better than just a web listing.
- Set the contact. Candidates with questions need someone to reach — make it clear who.
- Pick the right role type. Mis-categorised postings are harder for candidates to find.
