Looking for flexibility in 2025? Whether that be full time hours for a short period of time, part time hours to suit your lifestyle or family commitments, or maybe you like to head north in search of warmer weather during the chilly Ballarat winters.
Maybe you are a parent returning to the workforce but want to just dip your toe in the water to see how you go juggling work and family life.
You might be studying and looking for some income but aren’t keen on hospitality or retail because of the after hours and weekend work.
Or maybe you are transitioning to retirement but are still keen to keep your mind active and want a little bit of pocket money.
Have you considered temp work?
You might think temp work is a day here and a day there but in reality, the temp contracts we fill at Inspire HQ tend to range anywhere from a couple of weeks to 3 months, 6 months or even up to 12 months.
Temp work doesn’t have to mean instability, insecurity or constant change of workplace. Temp work could just meet your work needs and career goals! Being a career temp could just be the work solution you have been searching for.
Currently we are experiencing demand for people with finance and accounting skills to fill roles in Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Finance Assistant and Officer roles. However, we are always on the look out for people with admin skills too.
Temp contracts offer flexibility in terms of hours and days of work and how long you commit for, generally pretty good hourly rates and it’s a chance to build on your knowledge and expertise while experiencing plenty of variety.
Thinking temping could be for you but not sure, here’s what makes for a great temp:
Want to know more about how temping works and if it could suit your lifestyle and financial commitments? Contact the Inspire HQ team to find out more on 5331 1734.
