University of Newcastle

The University of Newcastle was a great opportunity, and great introduction, to the video production industry.

There were plenty of opportunities to improve my skills and abilities, as well as being able to give helpful and creative input to future videos.

The work culture was very warm and welcoming, everyone quickly became friends and was looking forward to coming into work each day.

The most difficult part of the job was the lack of advancement, and future potential of the role. There was a lack of future development and advancement which sometimes made things difficult.

Overall the best thing about the role was the ability to create videos that I was proud of, while having the ability to continually improve on my work.

While it is difficult to make everyone happy the University of Newcastle rates the wellness of their employees highly.
Flexibility, wellness and training are part of the ongoing campaign to ensure UON's commitment to attracting great staff and looking after them is fulfilled.  
UON faces the same challenges of all business today in having to ensure sustainability both economically and environmentally.

As a result change is the new norm, and the working environment is fast paced, highly challenging and extremely rewarding.

The job was promoting the university, demonstrating a recreation of the Michelson Morley experiment and educating year HSC physics 12 students. I was well paid for my time.
Management treated me well and I was treated with professional respect.
The only criticism I have is that I struggled with the HRonline system which was necessary for the administration officer for the school of mathematics and physical sciences to authorise my pay. As a result I was paid later then expected.

It is great place to kick start your career if you have no prior experience. I would recommend this place to help cope with your studies as long as you are a student at University.

If you are looking for further opportunities, it may not always be available but there are lots of internal opportunities if you are hired and in the zones.

They truly encourage forward thinking and have a growth mindset. We open and friendly to the whole world and surrounding communities.

The University of Newcastle is a vibrate young university located 120 kms north of Sydney. The University offers a wide range of jobs from administration to teaching and research.

The University of Newcastle allowed me to further my career while doing my PhD by providing a wide range of opportunities in both research and teaching.

I would recommend the University of Newcastle to anyone looking for a job at a University.

have been at the Uni for over 15 years and have never had a permanent position.  Contracts continually roll over, increasing the tension with each employee to maintain their position.  Not a great culture, which is coming from the top.  Most employees I know are disgruntled at the lack of support they receive, and the workload is unsustainable.

I worked as a PhD student and enjoyed the research environment provided by the University of Newcastle. I did an extensive physical model of pressure grouted soil nail and for that, I  developed an experimental setup, which was the hardest part of my research works. I worked in a team and I got significant supports from my lab manager and technicians to develop my apparatus.

Daily interacted and supported students that were grateful with the support that they were receiving.  Absolutely loved interacting with students and the community and coordinating various programs that supported students and supporting them with integrating into the community both mentally and physically.

Excellent investment and test bed of advanced technology. Was lucky to work with exceptional mentor. Also an organisation that capitalised on vendor support and advise. Was contracting via agency. I would work there again if an opportunity arises.

A young and thriving university in a quiet, but beautiful city.

The University of Newcastle is a research intensive university and a leading contributor to research in Australia and the world. Across many discipline areas, UON researchers are making discoveries that offer solutions to some of the world's greatest challenges.
