Local government jobs in the NT

Work with your local council

Local councils are part of everyday Territory life. They look after roads, waste collection and community facilities, as well as libraries, recreation programs and local events.

The jobs are just as varied, with opportunities in administration, community services, infrastructure, planning, finance, environmental health and trades. Depending on the council, you may also find permanent, fixed-term and casual roles, traineeships and graduate opportunities.

Working for a council gives you the chance to use your skills where the difference can be seen in the local community. You can also check the individual council websites below, as vacancies may be advertised in different places.
