Temporary Positions (Including Casual and Student Positions)

If you have previously worked with us in a temporary position and wish to return, you must re-apply for a new open position by submitting an online application. Even if you have kept contact with your past supervisor, you must formally apply to be considered for a current position.

Please note that we do not keep resumes on file for future consideration. Applicants interested in future opportunities are encouraged to check back frequently for new opportunities.

Need Help Applying Online?

We do not accept applications in person, by mail, email or fax. We only accept applications through our online platform.

We are committed to a barrier-free recruitment process. If we need to make an accommodation in our online application process for you to apply, please contact our Human Resources team by phone at 613-967-3272 or by email at careers@belleville.ca.

All applications are carefully reviewed by the hiring panel for each position. We appreciate the time and interest of everyone who applies; however, only candidates selected to move forward in the recruitment process will be contacted.

A member of the hiring panel will be in touch to arrange the next steps in the recruitment process, which may include an interview and/or candidate testing, depending on the requirements of the position. Some recruitments may also involve multiple rounds of interviews as part of the selection process.

The City of Belleville uses behavioural-based interviewing to better understand a candidate’s technical knowledge, experience and approach to workplace situations. Interview questions are designed around key competencies (such as technical knowledge, communication, decision-making and judgment, client orientation or problem-solving) to help objectively assess how past behaviours and experiences may support future success in the role. Candidates may be asked to provide specific examples of situations where they demonstrated particular skills or behaviours using the S.T.A.R. method (Situation, Task, Action and Result).

Depending on the job competition, candidates may also be required to participate in testing or assessments (such as Microsoft Office, Excel, driver testing, customer service simulations or other job-related evaluations). These assessments provide the hiring team with additional information to support the selection process and are directly related to the requirements of the position.

We understand that attending an in-person interview may not always be possible and, where feasible, we will accommodate requests for virtual interviews.

Successful candidates are required to provide a minimum of two (2) satisfactory employment-related references. References will be collected from candidates during the interview/testing stage.

An offer of employment is the next step following the completion of employment references.

A verbal offer will be issued by a member of the hiring panel and then a formal written offer of employment will be issued by Human Resources.

Your written offer of employment will include start date, hourly rate of pay/salary, vacation, benefits and pension entitlements, work arrangement (i.e. hybrid, on-site) and conditions of employment.

Conditions of employment specific to each position are outlined in the job posting and offer of employment. Depending on the role, this may include ongoing requirements to maintain certifications, licences, registrations or other qualifications relevant to the position.

Police Record Checks

All successful candidates, who are 18 years or older, are required to provide a satisfactory Criminal Record Check or Criminal Record Check with Vulnerable Sector Screening, before commencing work at the City. Criminal Record Checks do not need to be submitted until an offer of employment has been issued. Police Record Checks are required to be obtained at the cost of the employee.  

Work Eligibility

All successful candidates must be legally entitled to work in Canada (e.g. Canadian citizenship, permanent residency in Canada or work permit issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada).
