• Band Level 4/ 5 salary range of: $86,000-$93,000 + superannuation
• Work-life balance in a supportive Council team

Help keep the numbers and our community moving.

Are you the person who spots when something does not balance, follows a process through to completion and takes pride in getting the details right? This is an opportunity to bring your practical finance experience to Litchfield Council and support the accurate, reliable financial operations behind essential community services.

Why join Litchfield Council?

Located around 30 minutes from Darwin, the Litchfield municipality offers the best of both worlds: rewarding local-government work in a relaxed rural setting, with the services of the city close by. You will join a collaborative team that values good service, accountability and people who are willing to help one another succeed.

The opportunity

Reporting to the Finance Program Leader, you will perform a varied range of finance and administration activities that help ensure Council's financial records remain complete, accurate and compliant. This is a hands-on role where your attention to detail, organisation and customer-service skills will be valued every day.

Your day to day will include:

• Managing accounts payable and accounts receivable activities in line with Council procedures
• Completing daily bank reconciliations and monthly reconciliations for credit cards, fuel tax credits, phones and electricity
• Maintaining petty cash and prepare journal entries as required
• Assiting with grants reporting and acquittals, the Financial Asset Register and audit queries

What you will bring

You will be organised, approachable and confident working independently while contributing to a close-knit team. Just as importantly, you will understand that accuracy and service go hand in hand. You'll also require:

• A Certificate IV in Business, Accounting or related studies, or equivalent relevant experience;
• Practical experience in accounts payable, accounts receivable and bank reconciliation;
• Strong record-keeping, administration and Microsoft Office skills;
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to follow standard procedures;
• Clear, professional communication with internal and external stakeholders; and a current Northern Territory driver licence.
