Dysart career fair to include wide range of jobs
Posted
By DUSD
Dysart Unified School District invites the community to a Career Fair from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday, March 23 at the district office, 15802 N. Parkview Place.
Walk-ins are welcome, but interested candidates can also register in advance to schedule an onsite interview at Dysart.org/Careers.
The career fair will feature nearly 150 employment options for immediate openings, as well as positions for the 2023-24 school year. Positions range from teachers in all subjects, to support staff and administrators.
High need areas include Special Education teachers, paraprofessionals — often referred to as classroom assistants — child care and preschool aide positions, bus drivers and bus aides.
Interested applicants can also apply online for any open positions at Dysart.org/Careers prior to or at the career fair.
Qualified candidates will be able to interview on March 23.
Attendees will also be able to meet with multiple schools and departments to learn more about job opportunities and visit with the Human Relations staff. Prospective applicants should bring their current resume and be ready for an interview.
“We seek dedicated staff to join the Dysart family, and to be a part of the great things happening on our campuses every day,” said Dr. Stephen Poling, assistant superintendent for human relations. “Each of our employees is critical in ensuring that our students are provided with a high quality education.”
The district’s starting salary for a new teacher is nearly $50,000, and has an average teacher salary ($61,445) well above the state average ($56,349) and that of peer districts ($54,158) based on the Auditor General Report.
Along with competitive salaries, Dysart offers a comprehensive benefit package to staff, has won many awards for its wellness program, and was named a Top 20 Healthiest Employer (No. 10) by the Phoenix Business Journal in 2021.
The district employs more than 2,700 staff members at 26 schools and two support sites. It is the largest employer in the cities of Surprise and El Mirage, and has been recognized as one of the best companies to work for by both Zippia and TalentDesk.
