Why join our team as a Customer Service Representative?

CoA provides you with a great opportunity to build your career, while having a genuine impact on our city and our communities.

As a Capital City Council, we have wide-ranging responsibilities that impact everyone who visits, works and plays in the City.

As a CSR, you will be assisting customer queries, which will expose you to the many different services that Council provides.

This includes everything from community wellbeing to urban planning, events to infrastructure, lifestyle experiences to heritage, corporate services and many more.

Instead of hearing it from us, here is what some of our employees who have branched out into other areas have to say:

The Customer Centre is the place where you can grow and develop as a person and a professional, in a nurturing environment. It is fast paced, rewarding and enables you to learn about all pockets of council (I did not realise we did so much). I started as a trainee Customer Representative and was fortunate to be kept on as a full-time employee (hard work pays off) From there, I had the opportunity to step into a Customer Advocate position, and through the skills I learnt, I now work in the People Safety and Wellbeing Team where our staff are my customers ~ Chelsea
I have been with the City of Adelaide for 5 years, and in that time, I have had the opportunity to work in 3 different roles. I started in the Customer Centre as a Customer Service Representative which allowed me to gain knowledge of the wide variety of services council provides to the community. There are always innovative projects and exciting events happening in the City of Adelaide, and working in the Customer Centre means finding out about everything that is going on. I am now in the role of Community Engagement Support Officer, providing support to different areas of council to consult with the community on a variety of future projects. ~ Amy
