Join Our Dynamic Team: Expression of Interest – Local Government & Local Council Opportunities

Are you passionate about serving your community and making a tangible difference in local governance? We are seeking motivated, dedicated professionals to express their interest in upcoming opportunities within local government and local councils across Melbourne. This is your chance to be part of a vital sector that shapes the development and well-being of communities. Whether you have experience in customer service, administration-level roles, or roles specifically with local councils, your skills could be the perfect fit for our diverse range of positions.

To succeed in these roles, candidates should demonstrate strong communication and organizational skills, a solid understanding of local government operations, and the ability to work collaboratively with community stakeholders. Experience in customer service, administration, or public sector roles, along with a proactive attitude, integrity, and problem-solving capabilities, are essential to thriving in this dynamic environment. Having current police and WWCC clearances is desirable and will enhance your application.

Nice to have skills include experience with public policy, community engagement, project management, and familiarity with local government software tools. Additional knowledge of regulatory compliance and budgeting processes will also be advantageous.

Preferred candidates will possess a relevant qualification, such as a degree in public administration, urban planning, or a related field, complemented by previous experience in local government, customer service, or administrative roles. However, we encourage candidates with comparable experience and a genuine interest in public service to apply.

Other requirements may include the ability to attend meetings and community events outside standard hours, a valid driver’s license, and compliance with any necessary background checks or certifications required for public sector employment.
