Hello everyone

These jobs are advertised on the external Jobs Board meaning it is open for all comers.

When you joined the email network you were sent an email explaining the difference between the two types of jobs.)

ALL external job vacancies (ie. available for anyone to apply for) are advertised and updated daily at the Brisbane City Council website at www.brisbane.qld.gov.au and click on “Jobs” and follow the links you need. You can also sign up for job alerts (you will only get the external vacancies via that job alert). To get vacancies that are internal but able to be applied for by external people with disability or Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, you need to be a member of the E&D email list. If you received this email directly from DiversityInclusion then you are on the E&D email list.
