Serco understands the most valuable asset of any business is its people, as an employer of choice to more than 12,000 people working around the clock to deliver essential public services.

As an industry leader in workforce management, we know what people need to be able to turn up to work focused, engaged and ready to give it their all.

These insights have enabled us to build a contemporary Enterprise Workforce Solution, so you can spend more time focused on core responsibilities.

Serco’s Enterprise Workforce Solution provides an integrated employee lifecycle experience that:

  • Delivers effective, work-ready teams.
  • Improves employee experience and outputs.

Recruitment

We attract and onboard more than 6,500 employees each year, with proven ability to scale up a workforce in any location across Australia at short notice.

We focus on sourcing the best candidates for each role by factoring in pay and benefits, psychological attraction, lifestyle and career aspects.

Serco is serious about social inclusion and the advancement and empowerment of people who traditionally struggle to find employment – First Nations people, people living with disability, migrants, single parents, people who have been unemployed long term and veterans.

We are committed to ensuring an inclusive workplace that embraces and promotes diversity, and where every employee is offered personal growth opportunities to achieve meaningful short, medium and long-term outcomes.
