All other roles please speak with your recruiter/hiring manager regarding the specific requirements for the role you are applying for.
Leave for part-time roles is calculated on a pro-rata basis. This works out to be the same number of weeks of leave per year as a full-time role because you work less hours each week.
For example, a full-time employee accrues 20 days of annual leave per year, which is 4 weeks.
Someone who works 4 days per week accrues 16 days of annual leave per year, also 4 weeks.
If you have your recruiter’s contact details, please contact them directly. Otherwise please email careers@uniting.org
