THE WAY WE RECRUIT
“I pick teachers with passion and a special disposition for working with children, and focus my time on them now, because they are the models children learn from. The more playful, creative and aware the teacher, the richer the experience for children, and the more hopeful the future!”
- Julia Gabriel
Our teachers not only have relevant early childhood, drama and/or teaching qualifications, many also have some measure of experience – in their area of expertise (doesn’t have to be speech and drama but it could well be).
We are fortunate to receive resumes from people who come from all over the world who would love to be part of Julia Gabriel’s special blend of magic and learning.
We invite those who are interested and qualified to come visit us in person at our centre. Come and experience for yourself what we do. In fact, all of our interviewees spend at least a day with us, getting fully immersed in our classes, meeting and chatting with us. We at Julia Gabriel aren’t interested in giving you a job. We are interested to see if there could be a match in terms of you having some of what we call the “Julia Gabriel DNA”.
While there are no set personality profiles for an authentic Julia Gabriel person, we have a strong identity and culture as an organisation. Some of the qualities of self-leadership that each and every individual in our organisation embodies and collectively imbues include:
▪ an insatiable appetite for learning and continuous development, and the ability to nurture this in others
▪ a high degree of self-awareness
▪ enjoying expressing one’s talents and strengths
▪ making time to play
▪ an ability to nurture and nourish creativity
▪ pushing boundaries to express one’s creativity
▪ actively seeking enriching experiences
▪ balancing creativity with practical solutions

▪ being true to one’s values
▪ being honest with oneself and others
▪ striving for excellence and integrity
▪ supporting, motivating and inspiring excellence
▪ demanding rigour in everything that one does

We do not expect individuals to have all of these qualities when they join us, but the Julia Gabriel DNA can be developed in those who demonstrate potential.
