How to apply for a job

Search for current opportunities to find a role that suits your qualifications, experience and interests. If you are interested in short-term or casual work, please contact People Portfolio for an application form. If you don’t find a role that suits, sign up for job alerts and follow us on LinkedIn.

Once you have found a role you are interested in, make sure that you:

• Read the job advertisement and position description to fully understand the role.
• Reflect on your qualifications, experience and skills and whether they will enable you to successfully achieve the key responsibilities of the role.
• Think about your motivation for applying. Why are you interested in this particular role and USQ?
• Find out more about what we look for and consider USQ’s culture and values. Do they align with your own personal goals and values?
• Meet some of our people to see if we’re a good fit for you.

You will need to apply through our Online Application System. Click on ‘Begin’ to register at the bottom of the job advertisement or, if you already have a job profile with us, simply click on ‘Log in’.

From there, you will need to enter some personal details, attach your resume/CV and your statement of claim. Once you hit submit, we will send you a confirmation email.

Find out more about our application process to understand more on what to include in your application.

Once we have received your application, the selection panel will review it to see if your skills and experience match the job's key responsibilities and requirements.

We will then let you know as soon as possible via email or phone whether your application has been successful in being progressed to the next stage.

If you are successful in being shortlisted, you will be contacted by our People Services team and invited to attend an interview with the selection panel. This could be done either face-to-face or online.  The panel will ask you questions that relate to the key requirements and responsibilities of the role, along with your previous comparable accomplishments. You might also be asked about your motivation for the role and how you demonstrate your alignment with our core values.

We are committed to recruiting and retaining a high-quality workforce and ensuring the integrity of our people.  If you are being recommended for employment, we will need to undertake some pre-employment checks prior to any offers being made.

Your pre-employment screening will likely include:

• Confirmation of your identity
• Verification of qualifications and/or professional body accreditations/ registrations (if stated mandatory for the role)
• Confirmation of previous employment
• Criminal history check
• Reference checks (which should include your current manager / supervisor)
• Working with children check

Should you be required to undergo our pre-employment checks, we will contact you following your interview and talk you through the process. 

If you are successful, you will receive a call from us to offer you the position and discuss next steps.

If you are not successful, we'll let you know as soon as possible and we encourage you to sign up for job alerts and follow us on LinkedIn to stay up to date on future opportunities at USQ.
