Non-ongoing employment register

The department has an employment register that is used to offer non-ongoing employment from time to time. Applications are open to people interested in being placed on the employment register for a variety of roles.

Non-ongoing vacancies may range from a week to several months (to a maximum of 12 months).

The employment register is reviewed on a six-monthly basis. Unsuccessful applicants will be removed from the register after each review and will need to reapply to be considered for future roles.

Applications can be submitted through our online recruitment system.
