About

UCSF's Temporary Employment Program (TEP) recruits and hires temporary employees for a variety of immediate clerical and technical support services in UCSF departments and various off-campus locations. Temporary employment also is a viable recruitment source of candidates for casual and career vacancies. UCSF departments hire temporary employees to work on special projects, fill in for regular employees who are on vacation or sick leave, or to temporarily fill a vacant position during recruitment. Temporary employees frequently become successful candidates for career and limited appointment positions.

Prospective temporary employees should create a profile. (Temporary employees who previously had a UCSF employee ID will need to contact [email protected] in order to login to the site.)

If the prospective temporary employee is qualified and contacted by a TEP recruiter, they must:

  • Participate in a scheduled phone interview with a TEP recruiter.
  • Complete assessment in common computer applications (if applicable).
  • Participate in interviews with the hiring department.
  • Submit to pre-employment background and reference checks.

Temporary employees selected for UCSF Health-funded positions may also be subject to the following:

Due to the high volume of applicants, TEP recruiters reach out only to applicants whose skills and experience match current openings. All applicants remain in the applicant tracking system and may be contacted in the future should their skills and experience match a future opening.
