Non-Academic Positions

Trent University is planning for a full return to on-campus work for fall 2021. Some recruitment processes will continue to be done remotely while we transition back.  We encourage you to visit https://www.trentu.ca/trentforward for further information and FAQs regarding Trent's response to the COVID-19 situation. 

Thank you for your interest in Trent University. On this page, you will find non-academic (OPSEU and Exempt) positions for both the Symons and Durham campus. 

Trent University is actively committed to creating a diverse and inclusive campus community and encourages applications from all qualified candidates. Trent University offers accommodation for applicants with disabilities in its recruitment processes. If you require accommodation during the recruitment process or require an accessible version of a document/publication, please contact humanresources@trentu.ca.

Those interested in applying are asked to submit a cover letter, resume and external application form (if applicable), by email to jobs@trentu.ca (Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF) no later than the noted application deadline.  Please note your full name and the job title in the subject line of your email (i.e. First and Last Name – Job Title). Applications from external candidates will be considered only when accompanied by a completed Employment Application Form.

The Employment Application Form is a fillable PDF. You must open the PDF and download/save to your computer prior to filling out the form. You will not be able to save the information on the form using the web browser view. Please ensure you open the file saved on your computer to fill out the form.

The University encourages all qualified applicants to apply for positions; training and/or experience may be substituted for formal academic training, at the University’s discretion.

While the University appreciates all applications, please note that only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted.  Due to the high volume of applications, we cannot personally respond to inquiries or requests for general interviews or inquiries about the status of job competitions.

In the case of regular/recurring OPSEU positions, the University will consider internal OPSEU applicants first, in accordance with the OPSEU Collective Agreement.

Please note an internal applicant that does not possess the posted educational credentials, the University’s decision not to consider the candidate, is not grievable.
