Employment

Work with a small team where your contribution is visible, your role is varied and the work you do has a direct impact on the Cue community.

Work with us

A small organisation with a big range of work.

Working for the Shire of Cue is different from working in a large metropolitan organisation. Our employees work closely across teams, take on varied responsibilities and help deliver the services, facilities and projects that keep a remote community running.

Whether your background is in administration, community services, finance, projects, plant, roads or trades, a role in Cue can offer broad experience and the opportunity to see the results of your work first-hand.

Why work in Cue?

More responsibility. More variety. More connection to the outcome.

In a small local government, people work across boundaries. You get to understand how the whole organisation operates and how your work connects to the community it serves.

Varied work

Smaller teams mean broader roles, practical problem-solving and opportunities to build experience beyond a narrow position description.

Visible impact

The road repaired, event delivered, grant secured or facility improved is something you and the community can actually see.

A close-knit team

Work closely with colleagues across administration, community, works and projects rather than operating in isolated departments.

Employee benefits

Support that recognises remote living.

Depending on the role, employment status and applicable Council policy, Shire employment may include benefits such as housing support, electricity assistance, rostered days off, above-award remuneration, additional superannuation arrangements, uniforms or workwear and health and wellbeing initiatives.

Living in Cue
Remote, quiet and genuinely different.

Cue is a small Murchison community on the Great Northern Highway, surrounded by red-earth landscapes, heritage places, mining and pastoral country.

Remote living will not suit everyone. We encourage prospective employees to understand the location, climate, services and lifestyle before accepting a position.
