The immediate need is to staff positions on a term or casual basis. A pool of fully or partially qualified candidates may be established to staff similar positions with various tenures (such as indeterminate, term, deployment, assignment, secondment, acting or casual). CSC will review applications received on a regular basis and contact applicants who meet the below essential criteria (occupational certification and experience) for further assessment based on the needs of the institutions. It is therefore significant that you indicate all the locations where you want to work. The placement of CSC employees with an affected status* as a result of a current or future workforce adjustment exercise may be considered ahead of other candidates for a deployment or an appointment. * Affected status as defined in the Workforce Adjustment Directive or appendix to the relevant collective agreement.
