How to apply for a job with NPWS
NSW Government jobs, including NPWS vacancies are advertised on the I Work for NSW website. The best source of information on how to apply for NSW Government jobs can be found on the Public Service Commission (PSC) website.
When a government job is advertised, a role description is provided which explains the function of the role and details the capabilities and behaviours that are needed. These are based on the NSW Public Sector Capability Framework.
Applying for a government job is not the same as applying for jobs in the private sector, and the process includes several defined steps. Following these processes will give you a much better chance of getting an interview.
