Advertising University of Newcastle casual staff vacancies
The Careers Service can assist you to advertise part-time and casual vacancies to students via CareerHub.
CareerHub is an ideal way to connect with students. By advertising your vacancies through this system you will have access to a very large percentage of the students population.
Our students can bring a wealth of knowledge, experience and skills, which they have gained through other employment and as a student of the university. Many of the students of the University have a good understanding of the organisation and its policy and procedures.
To advertise your vacancy you will need to register your department at www.careerhub.newcastle.edu.au/employers and then add your job.
