Information for Completing Your Search/Application Process

  • You will be asked to create a username and password. Remember your username and password for future reference.
  • Please fill out the application completely. If you are attaching a résumé, be certain to answer each question on the application in addition to attaching the résumé. Please do not state “see résumé” in place of information completed on the application.
  • You will need your résumé, if you have one, a list of professional references, any license or certification numbers you may have and your work history. The best references come from former supervisors.

Additional Employment Considerations

  • The majority of our employees are represented by collective bargaining units, commonly referred to as labor unions.
  • New union employees are subject to a working test period, the duration of which depends on the specific bargaining unit and is generally equal to six months of full-time service.
  • For safety and compliance, all UConn Health employees are subject to clearance through appropriate criminal background, federal sanctions, and reference checks. Additionally, health clearance (which may include drug testing) through Occupational Medicine is required. All offers of employment as well as employment continuation are contingent upon successful clearance through these processes.
  • Applicants are invited to review the UConn's Annual Security and Fire Safety Report which includes institutional policies on campus security, such as policies concerning alcohol and drug use, crime prevention, the reporting of crimes, sexual assault, and other matters.
  • To foster a positive workplace experience, new employees are required to attend New Employee Orientation, offering an in-depth introduction to UConn Health.
