Hi!

It's great news that you want to come back and be part of our team again. Below you will find some information about the process, and at the bottom of the page is the form to complete if you would like to let us know that you want to come back.

Please, please, please take the time to fill in the form with detail. Previous employment with us is not sufficient evidence to expect an offer of a position on the team going forward.

Job descriptions for our roles may have changed since the last time you might have applied. We'd strongly recommend you take a moment to look at the descriptions at www.hwunion.com/jobs before you fill in the form below.

If you have any problems, please don't hesitate to reach out to your previous Line Manager or email hr@hwunion.com.

We're looking forward to hearing from you!


Why do I need to fill in a form?

Our casual contracts are fixed-length and run from the start of Freshers Week until (usually) the last day of the academic year. Ahead of the new academic year, we start our recruitment campaign to find staff to work with us for the year ahead. 

If you'd like to be considered for a position on the team again, it is important that you let us know and explain why you would like us to consider offering you another contract. It is not automatic that because you have had a contract with us in the past, that you will receive another one for the year ahead.

Applications from staff who have worked with us before will be considered against applications received from people we have never worked with, to make sure we have a team that is dedicated, committed and available to work the shifts we need. We will take into consideration your previous attendance, attitude, performance and willingness to demonstrate our values.

The advantage you have, is that it is unlikely that we would require you to attend an interview (unlike brand new applicants) as we will hopefully already know you!
