York University Temporary Agency (YUTA) is the internal agency that services York University's temporary hiring needs. YUTA sources, screens, assesses, interviews, references and places temporary employees in short term assignments throughout the University.
While they vary based on the unique needs of the University, the duration of these assignments vary - but are typically for 1 day to 3 months, possibly longer, and are generally 35 hours per week (Monday to Friday, 8:30 am - 4:30 pm). Shift work is available typically during the University "rush period" at the start of each semester and may work well for those with other commitments during "regular working hours".
YUTA is currently seeking flexible and adaptable Financial Administrative Assistants who thrive in a fast-paced environment and are interested in obtaining temporary employment on York's diverse campus.
