ABOUT US

Liverpool is a vibrant city that lies in the heart of Greater Western Sydney. Working with Liverpool City Council offers a wealth of professional opportunities. Liverpool is a diverse and innovative Council located at the gateway to the upcoming Western Sydney Airport. Liverpool is fast becoming Sydney’s third CBD and is going through rapid change and growth, with nearly 100 new residents arriving every week.  If great community outcomes are to be realised, Liverpool requires the best minds to realise this opportunity. 

ABOUT THE ROLE

Council’s Operations Team is at the forefront of building and maintaining our new city. We are now seeking a dynamic individual to support community engagement in the Operations Directorate and the Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants Program (WSIGP) team.

This new role will be dedicated to WSIGP and Operations, supporting the WSIGP Community Engagement Officer to manage meaningful and comprehensive engagement to ensure the community is informed and has opportunities for collaboration.  If you show initiative, understand audiences, community, can follow direction and can produce creative and on-brand communications and design elements, then you’ll be perfect for this role. In return you will have the opportunity to learn the intricacies of communications and about the many functions within a fast-moving infrastructure delivery team, in a local government setting.
