Council call to fill jobs

Horsham municipal leaders are encouraging Horsham district people to apply for new jobs established through a Working for Victoria fund.

Horsham Rural City Council will provide jobs for 28 unemployed people – whether they have lost their jobs due to the effects of COVID-19 or have been without work for a longer period of time.

Chief executive Sunil Bhalla said the $500-million State Government program was matching people who had lost their jobs with employers who needed additional staff.

Mr Bhalla said the council had been successful in applying for the funding.

“We are really pleased to take part in Working for Victoria and looking forward to welcoming our 28 new employees on board,” he said.

“If you’re looking for a job, we want to hear from you. Please visit the Horsham Rural City Council website, where we have set up a page to outline our vacancies and to explain how you can connect with these opportunities or learn more about the Working for Victoria program.”

The council will offer roles on six-month terms in the following jobs: Waste management, cleaners, outdoor workers, Horsham Regional Livestock Exchange worker, outdoor maintenance staff, human resources support officer, occupational health and safety officer, recreation and open space support officer, community safety officer, community safety unit administration support worker, facilities maintenance worker, media and communications officer and mechanic.
