How it works

Advertise your local government vacancies to the right audience.

LGJobs is the only dedicated job vacancy website in Aotearoa New Zealand focused exclusively on local government roles. Managed by Taituarā, LGJobs connects you directly with experienced professionals already in the sector, as well as those aspiring to join.

Why advertise with Council Jobs? 

  • Targeted Exposure – Reach candidates who are passionate about serving local communities. LGJobs is explicitly tailored for the local government sector, ensuring your vacancy is seen by people who understand the unique nature of the work and want to be part of it.
  • Trusted by the Sector – Because LGJobs is administered by Taituarā, you can be confident the platform is designed with the needs of local government in mind. Our goal is to support the sector in attracting and retaining the best talent.
