HIRING PROCESS

Great Hearts hires seasonal athletic coaches on a rolling basis. Athletic Directors at each academy are largely autonomous in the hiring processes for their campuses.  They discern for themselves the candidates of interest, and contact, interview, and make offers to those candidates per their own hiring timetables.

Candidates may hear from one or more Athletic Directors and/or Great Hearts staff member(s) shortly after submitting their application, or they may not hear anything for a number of months.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL COACHES WILL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE A FINGERPRINT CLEARANCE CARD BEFORE BEGINNING WORK.
