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.
