Service Conditions and Caveats

• Initial tenure: The appointment runs for one year or until the project ends, whichever comes first. You should plan for a fixed project term.
• Extension: Further engagement depends on a review of your performance. An extension is conditional, so the initial appointment does not promise continued service.
• Project closure: Your position ends with the project. This condition applies even if the project finishes before the initial appointment period.
• Future appointments: Selection gives you no right to another RGCB position, whether permanent or otherwise.
• Current government employment: If you work for a government organisation, your application must go through the proper channel.
• Separate applications: If you apply for other RGCB positions too, use a separate form for each position.
• Prescribed format: Use the required application format. RGCB states that applications in a different format will be rejected.
