The Entry Level Recruitment (ELR) service aims to simplify the process of entering the Northern Territory Public Sector (NTPS) for base grade administrative work.
Anyone can register with the ELR service, and if you do so you will be placed into a candidate pool that is made available to NT Government agencies when they need to fill an entry level vacancy. If your skills, experience and employment preferences match those required for a vacancy, the ELR service will contact you to discuss your availability and interest in the position.
If you decide to apply for the position, you will be referred to the agency for consideration, along with other suitable candidates. If you are successful, you can be selected and offered the position quite quickly (in some cases, within a week). Your availability to start work can therefore influence the selection process.
Vacancies can occur at any time. For example, a vacancy might come up when a current employee takes leaves or moves to a new job, or when additional positions are required for special projects, or when a work unit is unusually busy.
Generally, vacancies range from two weeks to 12 months (or longer), with some of the vacancies being permanent positions. Many of the temporary vacancies are for a period of 8-12 weeks, and will have a fixed start and finish date. Sometimes an agency will extend the period of employment, but you should never expect this will happen.
