Christchurch, New Zealand Christchurch City Council Full time

At the Christchurch City Council, our love for our city inspires us as we constantly strive to make it an even a better place to live, work, and play.

Do you have an eye for detail and the ability to multi-task across a range of activities for a variety of individuals, all while maintaining flexibility to accomplish deadlines? If so then come join the Hearings and Council Support team

As a Hearings and Council Support Officer you'll be a key team player providing administrative and secretarial support to the Council and its committees.

You'll need to be cool, calm and collected under pressure and have a professional manner as you deal with multiple internal and external stakeholders. You'll be ordering stationery one moment and providing support in a formal Council meeting the next. Having the ability to multi task is a must

You must also be highly organised, task oriented, a quick learner and able to produce consistently high standards of work within tight legislative timeframes without being fazed. Having good attention to detail is an important aspect as you will be dealing with a range of public facing documents.

The role requires you to deal with a range of technology suites so having confidence to learn and adapt is a must. You'll have to deal with both reactive situations and daily tasks so being able to think on your feet will come in handy.

You will be an enthusiastic and energetic self-starter with a proven background in administration. You will have strong experience in administration and be able to maintain a high level of confidentiality. New Zealand Local Government experience would be highly desirable but not necessary.

Keen to take pride in your work, and take pride in your city? It's time to get in touch.
