Here at Northern Grampians Shire Council, we are passionate about our communities.
We are a team of over 200 people committed to shaping our region into a place where locals and visitors of all ages can thrive, surrounded by the pristine landscapes that we are lucky enough to call our backyard.
We were recently recognised as industry leaders in innovation for our Google-based work environment. We don't believe being chained to the same desk every day is the most efficient or productive way to work, so we've introduced activity-based workspaces, promoting collaboration and creativity amongst our team. We want like-minded people committed to making a difference to join us.
Are you up for the challenge?
Great reasons to work for us
Our employees work at Northern Grampians Shire Council because they want to make a contribution to their community. We provide a supportive and flexible environment that values the balance between work and our employees' personal lives. We work with our staff to develop working arrangements that enable them to accommodate their personal commitments and enjoy all that our communities have to offer.
Our progressive activity-based work environment allows our employees to choose where they work each day. We provide a variety of different work spaces, including quiet areas for tasks that require a high level of concentration, and collaboration rooms to facilitate the sharing of ideas. We also provide sit-stand desks to ensure our employees are comfortable while they work.
We are constantly searching for new technology that allows employees to get on with their jobs in the office, away from the office and out in the community.
To successfully deliver our services, we need talented, committed employees across a range of skilled, trade, professional and managerial roles. We offer career development opportunities through graduate placements, apprenticeships, traineeships, work experience and career progression.
In addition to supporting the development of the community you live in, there are many other benefits to working in local government. These include:
