‘My first few months as a new trainee for the City of Newcastle has been such a fun and welcoming experience so far. Everyone has been so genuine and willing to provide help at any time and has made me feel comfortable from day one. I couldn’t recommend it enough for anyone thinking of pursuing a career here at council.’
