Creating a candidate profile
If you apply for a position, a partial candidate profile will be created for you, based on the information you supply. You are encouraged to complete your profile which you can edit at any time. In your profile, you are asked to select your preferences. These preferences include where you want to work, what type of position you are looking for and whether you would prefer full time or part time work. There are examples below.
You do not need to create a profile for each position you apply for. When you log in with your username and password, you can access your profile and use it to apply for multiple jobs. You can tailor your application for each vacancy.
Whenever you apply for a position, our recruitment system will assume you are interested in other similar positions and will add this to your candidate profile. You can edit your profile at any time.
For roles in skills shortage areas the University's recruitment team may search for potentially suitable candidates who have created a candidate profile. However, you are encouraged to check our vacancies on a regular basis to ensure that you do not miss an opportunity.
To create a profile, login from the 'Current Vacancies' page and use the candidate profile link on the right hand side.
