This forward-thinking local council recognise the hardship that the last 2 years have brought to local businesses and have established a role within council designed to assist small businesses within their municipality.

Focusing on home businesses and small retail this role is focused more on helping existing business within the municipality rather than attracting new businesses and helping to connect these businesses with support, networks and advice that will help them navigate 2022.

This contract initially runs for 6 months, during which time you will be involved in a range of activities from providing information to the business community through newsletters, website updates etc; managing the small business grants program; running surveys and 1:1 meetings to identify common trends/struggles that small business owners have and identify potential solutions; provide ad-hoc advice and more.

The successful candidate should ideally have previous experience in an Economic Development focused role, and ideally have a background/empathy that resonates with small business owners.  Previous experience working within council so that they understand how to navigate through red-tape and what support a council can/cannot provide would also be highly regarded.

This is an initial 6 month contract role at a rate of $45+super.
