At Catholic Charities hiring decisions are personal. So personal, in fact, that every application is screened by a member of the HR team or a trained hiring manger!

Do you like working with teens? Do you enjoy public speaking? How about social media? Can you think outside of the box? Can you work cohesively and with one or more individuals at a time? How about working in or with a team? Can you find new or interesting ways of sharing ideas and information? Do you like to be challenged?
