TIPS for Addressing the Selection Criteria
Pre-Employment Screening:
Tweed Shire Council conducts pre-employment assessments as part of its recruitment process.
Job offers are not made until screening has been completed. Tweed Shire Council uses third‐party providers to undertake:
Pre-employment medical – some roles require a functional (physical) assessment, and all positions are subject to drug and alcohol screening (a positive test result means the recruitment process ends and your application will not be considered).
Background screening - verifies that the information you have provided throughout the recruitment process is true and correct.
Reference Checks are undertaken by the panel. Your 2 referees should ideally be your current and most recent supervisors. Your referees are not contacted unless you've been interviewed and are a preferred candidate.
Immunisations:
This position is identified as at risk of contracting vaccine-preventable/manageable diseases and as a consequence impacted employees are strongly recommended to participate in Council's workplace vaccination program.
Thinking of relocating?
Eligible applicants can access the Welcome Experience, a free NSW Government service designed to support workers and their families as they move to regional NSW.
