Make a difference. Your work. Their future. 

The Department for Education, Children and Young People (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 register is not a vacancy and inclusion on the register does not guarantee employment. 

Working with us will give you the opportunity to grow, explore and develop while making a real difference in the lives of children and young people. 

Where a vacancy occurs the Specialist VET Teacher Fixed Term and Relief Employment Register will be examined to identify those persons who possess the necessary knowledge, skills, currency and qualifications to undertake the duties of the vacancy and who will be available to work.

Fixed-term

DECYP invites applications from those interested in teaching vacancies of up to one year duration to have their interest recorded on the Specialist VET Teacher Fixed-term Register.

Where vacancies are identified a merit-based selection process will be undertaken. The selection process may involve formal interviews and background checks.

All appointments to fixed-term Specialist VET Teacher positions within the Department will only be made from those applicants listed on the register.

Relief

Persons interested in relief teaching (short-term employment on a day-to-day basis up to and including 20 consecutive days), should also register for Relief work, selecting 'relief' in Work Preferences on the application form.

Please note: The fixed-term and relief employment register is not a vacancy and inclusion on a register does not guarantee any offer of employment will be made.
