Do you want to make a difference with your work? Do you want to work for an organisation that is respected by its members and stakeholders for being effective and collaborative?

We are looking for someone who is experienced in effective advocacy and delivering projects that make a difference to the community.

About us

We are the peak body for local government in Tasmania. Our role is to support, advocate for and represent the local government sector, so our 29 council members are best placed to serve their communities.

Annual leave is five weeks plus the Christmas/New Year shutdown, as well as generous superannuation and long service leave provisions. We look after our people, supporting and rewarding them. We respect that work is part of your life, not your life. Most staff work off-site a few days a week, and those with kids have flexible arrangements for pick-ups, drop-offs and events.

About you

You’ve got demonstrated policy and program skills and experience, with a track record of achievement. You’re known for your communication skills that connect people, uncover the true problems and identify the best ways to act. You’ll understand local government’s challenges and bring insights around emergency management or climate change.
