Vacationer (Vacation Program)

What it’s like to work at Ulton

At Ulton, we recognise that our strength comes from our people - the care they show, the expertise they bring, and the way they support their clients and colleagues. That’s why we’re committed to fostering a working environment where you’ll never feel like just a number. When you work with us, you’ll be valued as a person and supported in ways that make work meaningful, enjoyable, and sustainable.

Our employee experience and benefits program is built around four pillars to set you up for success:

Wellbeing

Support for a healthy, balanced life
With flexible work options (RDOs, hybrid work, and flexible public holidays), wellness allowances, family-friendly spaces, confidential EAP support, paid parental wellness support, and more.

Reward

Recognition for your contribution
Including market-aligned remuneration reviews, our annual awards night, allowances for Ulton services, referral bonuses, retail discounts, and more.

Growth

Build your confidence and capabilities
Through paid study support, leadership pathways, professional development allowances, and support to grow at every stage of your career.

Connection

A culture built on genuine relationships
With team events, celebrations, community involvement, and opportunities to strengthen your bonds with the people around you.

Together, these pillars shape a workplace experience where doing good work feels great.

And our people feel the difference. In our most recent culture and engagement survey:

• 86% of our team agreed Ulton invests in their training and professional development
• 82% agreed they have access to resources and programs that support their wellbeing

These are just some of the reasons why people choose to build long, fulfilling careers here.

Showing up for our community at work and beyond

Along with supporting our people through a meaningful employee experience, we’re also committed to supporting the communities we’re part of. Each year, we choose a Charity of Choice and rally our teams, clients, and partners to raise funds and awareness for causes that matter in the places we call home.

Internships at Ulton are more like short-term positions. We don’t just want students to go back to school or uni with stronger CVs, we want them to take new perspectives, skills and connections with them. As long as you bring the passion and curiosity, we’ll bring the hands-on opportunities. And, did you know that most of our Vacationers receive an offer for a full-time trainee or graduate position after completing the program?

What will you do?

As an intern, you’ll receive one-on-one mentoring from industry professionals, across multiple service areas. You will gain real-life practical experience, work on real clients and be involved in meetings and workshops. Vacation placements are paid and usually last one to two weeks. Students are placed at times that fit with their study timetable and existing work commitments.

Important Dates:

April placement : 7 April - 17 April 2026

Applications for April school holidays close on 13 March 2026 

September placement: 21 September - 2 October 2026 

Applications for September school holidays close on 31 August 2026

Who are we looking for?

To be eligible, you must be a Year 11 -12 or university student (studying in the business arena). While marks might determine academic aptitude, it’s just one characteristic that goes towards making a graduate an attractive employee. We look beyond the numbers, to determine the right candidate for our programs. We are looking for students that share our values:

• Are you driven to reach your fullest potential and inspire those around you to do the same?
• Do you strive for excellence?
• Are you dependable and a great team player?
• Do you have a positive attitude and enjoy being innovative?

If this sounds like you, then you’ll be a great fit for our Ulton community. Submit an application to join our Talent Database and be the first to hear of Vacation Program opportunities in your chosen location. All applications must contain a cover letter, up-to-date CV and academic transcript.
