Assistant Director, Industrial Relations

1 week ago


Canberra, ACT, Australia ACT Government Full time
The ACT Government aims to the most progressive jurisdiction in Australia for our workforce practices. We may be small, but we are already recognised for propelling change through contemporary employment conditions.

We have an exciting work agenda, that includes embracing agility and flexibility, and ensuring that our industrial relations and employment framework is prepared to face rapidly changing workforce arrangements in the ACT.

Our team is part of the Office of Industrial Relations and Workforce Strategy which is leading work on shaping the culture and workforce practices of the ACTPS.


We have an opportunity for an Assistant Director to join us here in the Industrial Relations team and make meaningful change and contributions to the ACTPS employment framework.


As an Assistant Director of the Industrial Relations and Public Sector Employment team, you can expect to be on the forefront of an exciting and challenging work program modernising a responsive and agile employment framework.

Our team is doing some leading-edge work in providing our ACTPS employees with contemporary and supportive employment entitlements; for example, we are enhancing and transforming our entitlements to flexible and hybrid work across the service, which will ensure the ACTPS is an employer of choice

If you have a strong desire to perform meaningful work and undertake critical thinking and problem solving, then this is the job for you


Most importantly, you will work with a team of enthusiastic professionals who come from a variety of professional backgrounds and areas of expertise so don't expect to do it alone.

The IR&PSE team value a strong work ethic but also have a solid sense of humour.

The team has a highly connected and collaborative work culture and would welcome a person who has the interpersonal qualities as well as an agile and adaptive style to match the changing workflow and priorities that come with being a small team within the Chief Ministers Treasury and Economic Development directorate.


Need ACTPS experience?
No, you don't have to be from the ACTPS or public sector to apply. We love new and different ways of thinking and we'll help you learn our context (and acronyms).

Where can you work?


We have access to ongoing hybrid work arrangements including home-based and activity-based working (ABW) when working from the office (located at 220 London Circuit, Canberra City) and our new Innovation Centre.

The ACT Public Service supports workforce diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive workplace.

As part of this commitment, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with disability, culturally and linguistically diverse people and those who identify as LGBTIQ+ are encouraged to apply.

A Merit Pool will be established from this selection process and will be used to fill similar vacancies should they arise over the next 12 months.


How to Apply:

Please submit a two-page (maximum) pitch addressing the professional and behavioural capabilities, along with your current curriculum vitae, listing two referees and their contact details.
