Moreland Council is looking for more than 300 people to fill roles in outdoor land management, cleaning, food and meal delivery, digital communications and human resources.
The move is expected to increase the council’s workforce by 40 per cent, according to Mayor Lambros Tapinos.
The council registered 310 six-month contract jobs with the State Government’s $500 million Working for Victoria initiative.
Anyone forced out of work as a result of the pandemic was encouraged to apply.
Once registered into the database job seekers can then be matched to suitable work.
Cr Tapinos said the new jobs would focus on providing “important services” across Moreland in response to the COVID-19 crisis and will be funded by a $16.18 million State Government grant.
“We know that there are many local people that have found themselves out of work due to the COVID-19 pandemic and there are a lot of people and families facing financial hardship,” he said.
“Our priority is to look after our Moreland community at this time and one way we can help is to have local people working for Moreland Council.
“This is an opportunity to have our local community work with us to keep Moreland moving forward at this unprecedented time so that we can come out the other side of this in a strong position and work towards recovery together.”
Job seekers can register at Working For Victoria.
