Vacancies and recruitment

Currently we are not recruiting for our Local Democracy Groups.

If vacancies occur within the groups, an annual recruitment will take place. Positions will be advertised on our engagement platform, Your Say Inner West. You can register to the platform and can choose the option to receive notifications to make sure you don't miss out on an opportunity.
