Working with us
We live in a beautiful region and we are rebuilding our organisation to be stronger than ever and more efficient than ever. We aim to be leaders in our fields and ultimately improve services for our community. To do this, we need great people from all walks of life, who see our vision and are passionate about contributing to it.
What we are looking for
We are looking for people with a great attitude, who have ‘heart’ and are invested in being a part of the Lismore City Council team. We are looking for people who want a challenge and have a desire to contribute to the success of our community. We want people looking for a career change and people who are seeking a job where income is regular, as are the hours!
Our values
As an organisation we have adopted a set of values – developed by the people, for the people. These were created as part of a consultative ‘Values Project’ involving staff across the whole organisation.
Our 'Values' are to respect, to strive, to be passionate and to communicate. We expect anyone who applies for a job with us to be aligned with these values. Our catchphrase is 'Values begin with a V but start with you…' and we want our organisation to be full of talented workers who believe in the values we do.
We ask you to address our values as part of your selection criteria. You can find more information in the Info Pack.
