A fixed-term and casual employment register is not a vacancy and inclusion on a register does not guarantee any offer of employment will be made.

Applications are invited for persons interested in being considered for fixed-term and casual employment within the Department for Education, Children and Young People (DECYP) Libraries Tasmania. We are a state-wide network of library services, community learning, adult literacy and the State's archives and heritage services.

From 3 October 2022, Department of Education has joined with colleagues in the Department of Communities to form the Department for Education, Children and Young People.

This is a Department built entirely for children and young people and their communities.  Our ultimate goal is to work together to ensure that every child and young person in Tasmania is known, safe, well and learning.

The child is at the centre of everything we do and the way we do it.

In the short term, you may still see references to Department of Communities and Department of Education as we transition.  We are working together to build our strategy and our culture and values.  This work will be continuing into 2023, and we want all staff to be involved in this.

It's an important time to join a dynamic new department.

Vacancies arise from time to time in a variety of locations throughout Tasmania in the categories of employment listed below.
