Application Process


How to Apply

Apply Online

From our current job opportunities, select “Apply now” at the end of the job posting.

Applications must be submitted online unless otherwise stated.

The “Apply Now” link brings you to a web-based online application and screening system called Plum. If this is your first time applying to the DTSSAB, create a Plum Profile. If you already have a Plum profile, log into your account to transfer your results.

Upload both your cover letter and resume, showcasing how you meet the experience, education and skill/competency requirements for the job. Send a separate resume for each position you are applying.

You must complete a 30-minute (approximate) assessment through Plum to submit your application.  Once completed you will receive immediate, personalized feedback, in your own Plum Profile (which is helpful for job search and career development).

Email correspondence
The DTSSAB communicates primarily using email. Applicants are responsible for checking their email regularly. You will receive confirmation once your application is successfully submitted.

Late applicants
Applications received after the competition closing deadline will not be accepted.

Unsolicited applications
Applications are accepted for advertised positions only.


Applicant Evaluation and Assessment

Applications will be reviewed to determine the most qualified candidates invited to continue in the hiring process. This may include: telephone screening, in-person interviews, practical assessments, writing test and French language proficiency evaluations.


Reference Checks

Candidates selected to move forward in the recruitment process will be required to sign a consent form and provide three (3) supervisory or professional references. Personal references are not accepted.

References are only contacted if candidates are being considered for final selection.


Offers of Employment

All offers are conditional upon the candidate releasing to the Employer a Criminal Record Check and Vulnerable Sector Check.

Offers may also be contingent on providing a Statement of Driving Record or other relevant and reasonable requirements, based on the demands of the position.

Only candidates receiving a formal written offer of employment are required to obtain a police record check or provide other conditional requirements specified in the offer.

Documents provided must be satisfactory to the Employer in its sole discretion.
