I'm interested in working at Ara

Much of our success as a leading education provider is due to the quality and expertise of our employees.

Our aim is to attract and retain a high calibre of industry-experienced people who believe in transforming lives through education.

If you have extensive industry skills and experience, but no formal teaching qualification, you may still be able to teach and pass on your expertise. Our in-house team can teach you to teach, while you're on the job teaching others.

Here are the current vacancies

Workforce restrictions: If you have a criminal conviction, and you are considering working at Ara you will need to check whether your conviction could prevent you from working in some roles in your chosen field. This is because the Vulnerable Children's Act 2014 will prevent state sector agencies and government-funded service providers from hiring people with convictions for 'specified offences' to work with children in some roles.
