What Council is doing for veterans?

Council has recently signed The Veterans' Employment Commitment (VEC) identifying us as a Veteran Friendly Employer. This is a commitment from us that we value the skills and experience of ex-ADF members and will consider veterans for employment opportunities.

The VEC requires us, here at Narromine Shire Council, to:

• Recognise the skills and values that veterans can bring to Narromine Shire Council.
• Support the employment of veterans, ensuring equal opportunity in gaining employment with Council.
• Aim to provide career opportunities in Council to veterans.
• Actively seek to understand how veterans’ skills and experience can translate into civilian skills and contribute to Council.
• Provide suitable training, mentoring and coaching to veterans to assist their integration into Council.
• Ensure our People and Culture policies equitably support the recruitment and retention of all employees, including veterans.

NSW Local Government Rank 2 Grade Guide was developed to help both hiring managers and veterans understand how ADF skills and experience align with public sector jobs. Use this guide as a tool to help you identify where your skills and qualifications align.

Local Government Capability Framework sets out the essential knowledge, skills and abilities needed to work effectively in Local Government. The guide outlines the requirements of Council roles and how veterans' military experience can fulfil these needs at all employment levels.
