Introduction:
Thank you for showing an interest in this vacancy with the Hawke's Bay Regional Council.
Basically it's up to you how you "sell yourself" to those that will shortlist possible appointees for this position. We have no application form, as generally, applicants will provide the relevant information in their CV or accompanying letter.
In addition, the following are included as part of this information pack:
- Current job description.
- Outline of the Key Skills required.
- Information pamphlet on the Council.
- Outline of the minimum requirements for your CV.
How to apply?
We are quite happy to receive your CV, and letter of application via the mail, e-mailed or faxed, providing they arrive by the closing date.

- If you are from outside Hawkes Bay, the Council will give reasonable assistance to cover your travel costs.
- Generally, you will not be required to bring any extra documentation to the interview.
- If you are unsuccessful in securing an interview you will be notified within two weeks of the closing date for the position.
- Following the interview, unsuccessful applicants will be notified, by phone if possible, and by letter.
Before a final decision is made on an appointment, it is important that the successful applicant feels ‘right’ about joining the Council. The employment process is a two-way thing; the Council has to be confident you are the best person for the position and equally you have to be sure the Council is ‘right’ for you. To this end, you may be asked to talk with other staff who you might work with to get a ‘feel’ for the culture of the Council. This will be done before you are asked to make a decision on our employment offer.
The employment offer will generally be made verbally over the phone and supported by written confirmation.
Salary:
The relevant salary range for the position is included in the job description. The commencing salary will be subject to negotiation at the time of appointment but within the stated range.
We hope this information has been helpful and we look forward to receiving your application.
