Temporary/Contract Opportunities

Advantages of being a Temp?

• You have the opportunity to apply your experience to add value in new situations
• You are given exposure to different working environments and opportunities
• You can choose the assignments you take according to your own requirements
• Make sure you add details of each assignment to your resume, including what the objectives were and how you achieved them

We can offer you work in a variety of locations including South-East Queensland metropolitan and regional areas. Working 1,000km from home can be fun and travelling to a regional location for a short time can be just the tonic for hardworking city folk.

Most rural clients will provide accommodation in the town. Travel expenses at the beginning and at the end of the assignment are included.

What awaits the temporary Candidate is a new experience; a working environment where he or she can make a difference; time to save a bit of money; time to make some new friends and add some great experience to your skill levels.

How much say will I get in where I will work?

As work is listed with us that meets your skills and experience, we will contact you and provide details of the assignment. It is your decision to have your interest relayed to the Client.

How long are the assignments?

Assignments can vary from a few days, to weeks and months depending on the needs of the individual Client.

The assignment could be for a one-off project, to cover for maternity leave, extra workloads, sick leave, workers' compensation or long service leave.

Am I treated as an Employee?

YES! Being a ClearWater Recruitment Temporary Employee requires as much, if not more, professionalism as a Permanent Employee. Your success as our Employee is based on how well you adapt your skills, experience and personality to various work settings and environments by demonstrating flexibility, availability and reliability.

How much will I get paid?

You will be paid an agreed hourly rate for each assignment, determined by our Client's work requirements, your skills, prevailing Award or Agreement rates that are applicable and location of the Client (ie. if you are required to travel to a remote location). Your hourly rate may vary from assignment to assignment. Your ClearWater Recruitment Consultant will tell you the rate applicable before you accept an assignment.

In addition ClearWater Recruitment pays the required superannuation benefits into a superannuation fund at the end of each month.

Our hourly rate to Clients includes your wages and Superannuation, along with our costs (ie. Workers' Compensation, Relevant Insurances, Payroll Tax and Administration Costs).

ClearWater Recruitment processes and directly deposits your pay into your account on a weekly basis.
