When can I expect to hear back about my application?
Every application received is reviewed by our Talent Acquisition team, never by AI. This usually occurs within 5 business days, often sooner.
We are a Circle Back Initiative Employer and respond to every applicant.
I meet most of what the job ad mentions you are looking for, but not all of the criteria. Should I apply?
Absolutely! Even if you meet most, but not all, of the criteria, we still would love to hear from you.
What does BHC’s shortlisting process look like?
Once your application has been reviewed, your application will either progress to phone screen stage with our Talent Acquisition team, or you will receive an outcome email if your application is not being progressed to the next stage.
What does BHC’s interviews process look like?
For most roles, a first-round interview is held via Teams with our Talent Partner and a manager/senior member of the team. The interview will consist of behavioural-based questions aligned with the responsibilities of the role. These questions aim to provide you with greater insight into the position and enables us to evaluate your competencies in relation to the role’s key requirements.
You can also expect a scenario-based exercise during the interview process, designed to provide you with another opportunity to demonstrate your skills, and to provide us with insight into how you may respond to potential real-life situations on the job.
A second-round interview is held in person at our Head Office or at one of our site offices.
References and other role-relevant checks (e.g. police checks) are completed before offer stage. We will always touch base with you before progressing these.
Do you offer work-from-home options?
As a contemporary organisation that genuinely values the employee experience, BHC’s Hybrid Work Guideline provides the option to work from home up to two days per week (pro-rata for part-time staff) if desired and practical in their role.
For those new to BHC, it may be beneficial to work from the office full-time for a substantial initial period, to support knowledge development through incidental learning and building confidence through observation and interactions.
We encourage you to ask any questions that you may have during the recruitment process.
What happens once I have accepted the role?
You will receive your Employment Agreement and related information including our Employee Handbook, that we hope will be useful as part of your onboarding journey with us.
You will hear from our Talent Partner closer to your first day with any relevant information and a detailed induction program so that you have an idea of what your first week looks like at BHC and to provide you with any other details ahead of your first day.
What does the onboarding journey look like?
To support setting you up for success, we have a structured induction program for every role, role-specific training, housing sector induction, IT and office-based training, and BHC corporate inductions with our Senior Leadership Team. You will also have regular 1:1 meetings with your manager.
At the three-month mark, your Manager and Human Resources will meet with you to discuss how your transition into the business is going and whether you need any further support or training.
I need a reasonable adjustment during the interview process – what should I do?
We aim to make our application and interview process accessible to everyone. Please inform our Talent Partner of any adjustments you may need, and we’ll be happy to accommodate where possible.
“I love BHC because I can see that the staff really do care about the work that they do and I have seen this in practice! The staff participate in annual days of significance and learning opportunities and the passion for the people starts from the top–you can tell from how much Rebecca(CEO) shows interest in our work, the stories of the people we work with and the future of BHC.
I am so grateful that I get to contribute to over 250 new Queensland households being housed through both the Social and Affordable programs at BHC – especially considering the housing crisis and the passion I have for outcomes, this has been so rewarding! Overall, I have been loving it so far! It is challenging, highly rewarding and supportive of your wellbeing, career, and development!”
“During my tenure at BHC, I have grown both personally and professionally through a variety of roles. From my early days at reception to my current position as Housing Manager, each step has offered new opportunities to learn, contribute, and connect.
It’s the little things that help form company culture-shared values, everyday support, and a genuine commitment to making a difference. Being part of an organisation that values growth and purpose has been incredibly rewarding, and I’m proud to have built a career where meaningful work is at the heart of everything we do.”
