Description

Temporary Employment Register

The Temporary Employment Register (TER) is open to candidates to submit an expression of interest for temporary, non-ongoing employment at the Australian Embassy, Rome.

The TER enables us to temporarily employ appropriately highly skilled, motivated and experienced individuals at short notice for short-term (fixed term) contracts.

Successful applicants will be engaged as locally engaged staff members at The Australian Embassy, Rome. Please be advised that the Australian Embassy does not provide relocation assistance and any costs associated with taking up the position would be the responsibility of the successful candidate.

Temporary Contracts

Temporary employment opportunities arise from time to time for a number of reasons including:

- when permanent staff members in essential positions take leave;
- during the period prior to filling a vacancy; or
- to manage fluctuations in workloads.

Temporary vacancies are usually filled on a short-term contract basis from those listed on the Australian Embassy’s Temporary Employment Register.

Employment opportunities may be offered on a full-time or tempo parziale basis, depending on business needs and requirements.

The Australian Embassy reserves the right to terminate a temporary staff member’s employment at any time.

How to Apply

Please complete the application form and attach a copy of your CV.

If you are offered a temporary position, a Probity and Police clearance for all countries that you have resided in for over six months in the past five years is required.

Applications are kept on file for 12 months. Your application will be considered when temporary vacancies arise and decisions are based on suitability, availability and/or the possession of a security clearance (if required by the position). Candidates will be directly contacted if their application is under consideration for a vacancy.
