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.
DECYP will from time to time require the services of employees for specified fixed-term and relief basis in a number of skill areas and disciplines. Such appointments fill a valuable role in complementing the existing permanent workforce.
The following vacancies may arise in various schools and organisational units within the DECYP across Tasmania:
