Indigenous Employment Opportunities – Expression of Interest

Expression of Interest for Australian Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people at UTS

At UTS, we are committed to supporting positive social change within and beyond our campus. We are recognised widely as supporting inclusivity and valuing diversity, reflected in a diverse set of social justice initiatives.

Our commitment to overcoming Indigenous disadvantage

UTS has a longstanding commitment to overcoming Indigenous disadvantage in employment and education. To demonstrate this commitment, UTS has had an affirmative action employment strategy called the Wingara Indigenous Employment Strategy since 1993.

The purpose of the Wingara Indigenous Employment Strategy 2019–2023 is to ensure that UTS has the Indigenous capability to achieve its high-level and ambitious strategic objective to position itself as a world-leading university in Indigenous education and research by 2023.

We are committed to growing and developing our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workforce.

Our target

For the 2019–2023 strategy, UTS has set the Indigenous employment target at three percent of its workforce to be achieved by 2023.

How will we achieve this?

UTS has a number of employment and career development programs and pathways. To complement these, we have created an Expression of Interest (EOI) program.

We are now seeking expressions of interest from individuals for a variety of roles at UTS that may become available in the future. Individuals joining the program will have their expression of interest actively matched against any suitable positions that may arise.

We recruit for both academic (teaching, research) and non‑academic positions (e.g. IT, Finance, Marketing). Roles at UTS include casual, fixed‑term and continuing (permanent) opportunities, both part‑time and full‑time, with flexible working arrangements available.

About you

Applicants must

• be of Australian Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander decent
• identify as an Australian Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person
• be accepted as such by the community in which they live and/or have lived

Remuneration

Remuneration will be depended on the particular position to which you will be appointed, and will be in line with the recent Enterprise Agreement (EA).

Click the apply link and follow the instructions found here. You will be required to attach the following documents within your submission:

Your heritage is something that is personal, however proof of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander heritage is required of applicants prior to an offer of employment, to ensure that our intention to address Indigenous disadvantage is honoured. Our Manager of Indigenous Employment, Berice Anning, who is responsible for the employment, retention and career development opportunities of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees will act as your liaison point for enquiries.
