Noosa is one of the top holiday destinations in Australia with a range of tourism and hospitality jobs on offer throughout the region, from the coast to the hinterland.
Since the outbreak of Covid-19, many businesses have been forced to reduce opening hours and service levels due to the lack of workers and skills shortages.
In response, Tourism Noosa has launched an online jobs board to assist business owners who are struggling with the current workforce.
The Tourism Jobs in Noosa page links people looking for work or a new career with businesses that have tourism and hospitality job vacancies, offering several jobs and work choices.
Tourism Noosa chief executive officer Melanie Anderson said, “The jobs board is an outcome of the Noosa Workforce Shortage Group that Tourism Noosa initiated in response to operators who are struggling to find staff, an issue that is impacting many businesses around Australia and overseas, particularly in regional areas.”
“Noosa’s reputation as a great holiday destination is dependent on the successful operation of our local businesses, particularly as we approach the Christmas season, the biggest season of the year.
“It is imperative that we get businesses opening hours and staffing levels back to what it was prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, ensuring the future of both the businesses and the region”.
Niche Luxury Accommodation managing director Sue Willis said the staffing crisis, triggered by Covid-19 has had far-reaching effects across the tourism industry.
“Noosa is no exception! A dedicated, industry-focused jobs board will be a vital tool for local businesses as we continue to promote job opportunities across the region to continue to deliver the service our visitors have come to expect,” Ms Willis said.
“Bringing together jobs and workers in a professionally facilitated and well promoted, centralised jobs board will only help to encourage great people to join us in Noosa in great jobs to deliver great service.”
Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort’s Director of Talent & Culture, Emily Carter said, “The job board that has been created by Tourism Noosa will assist us with sourcing new talent/candidates who are invested in working in the Noosa region and securing long-term workforce opportunities in a place that has so much so offer.”
It is evident that the past few years have changed the way many people think about work, which is why Noosa is a great place to consider, offering a wonderful combination of work-life balance.
Choose from a variety of tourism and hospitality jobs including full-time, part-time and casual positions, all of which are clearly labelled on the jobs board.
Tourism Noosa is also calling out to locals who have previously worked in tourism or hospitality and wish to get back into the industry, students who are looking for casual work, international backpackers travelling to Australia, early retirees looking for a new challenge and the list goes on. This appeal goes out to Noosa and the wider Sunshine Coast and Gympie region, to consider a tourism job in Noosa.
State Member for Noosa Sandy Bolton MP who is part of the Noosa Workforce Shortage Group, said, “I encourage workers, students and ‘gap yearers’ from across our region and beyond to jump on the Jobs Page and join our incredible community as there is nowhere better to live, work and play!”
Tourism Noosa’s job board comes at a great time to help the tourism and hospitality businesses during this current climate.
