Published on 12 May 2020

Hindmarsh Shire Council has received funding through the State Governments $500 million Working for Victoria initiative to provide 13 full time positions throughout the shire.

The 13 positions are fixed term for six months across a variety of Council functions including cleaning, town maintenance, outreach support, and human resources administration.

Hindmarsh Shire Council Mayor, Cr Rob Gersch said “Positions will be available to residents throughout the shire, with eight town maintenance positions available in Dimboola, Jeparit, Nhill and Rainbow.”

Cr Rob Gersch continued “This is a fantastic opportunity for community members who may have been stood down from their positions due to the COVID-19 pandemic to join Council, and undertake important work in our community.”

Interested residents are encouraged to apply for the positions by visiting the Working for Victoria website and registering on the Sidekicker platform (a subsidiary of SEEK). To be eligible to apply you must be legally able to work in Victoria, and are either unemployed or have recently experienced a significant reduction in income.

Cr Gersch continued “I would encourage residents to visit www.vic.gov.au/workingforvictoria to find out further information on the program and how to apply for the available positions.”
