“The First Start Program primarily targets young Queensland school leavers and disadvantaged job seekers considered at risk of enduring prolonged periods of unemployment.

Council is now recruiting for:

  • Procurement Administration Trainee
  • Customer Service and Records Trainee
  • Horticulture Trainee
  • Project Support Officer Trainee
  • Visitor Services & Tourism Trainee
  • Water and Wastewater Operations (Treament) Trainee

Mayor Schmidt said, “it is essential for Council to take the lead in providing these opportunities to meet the community's recruitment and development needs, and I am eager to welcome new team members in 2025.”
