Information for Applicants

The Northern Territory Government has invested in an online eRecruitment system to allow potential applicants to apply for jobs in an easy and user friendly way. The system allows you to search for specific job descriptions by agency / department or category, and submit your application.

Vacancies in the NTPS are also advertised in the Saturday edition of the Northern Territory News. Some vacancies are also advertised in regional newspapers, in specialist publications and in interstate media. All NTPS vacancies are also advertised on the Northern Territory Government website.

After finding a vacancy you would like to apply for you will need to obtain a copy of the relevant job description, which includes details about the purpose, role, duties and responsibilities of the job, as well as the selection criteria that will be used to assess applicants.

Job descriptions provide information that will help you gain an understanding of the requirements of the job and may also include information about the work area, reporting relationships and the organisational and business environment of the department or agency.

If you have read the job description and have any questions about the job or the workings of the department or agency, the contact person identified in the job description will usually be the best place to start looking for an answer. Alternatively find out more about NT Government agencies.
