Canberra, ACT, Australia HorizonOne Recruitment Full time

HorizonOne currently has numerous Executive Assistant positions available at both the APS4 and APS5 levels, across various government agencies and departments.

We have been inundated with roles and have clients looking to secure a great EA before Christmas, ready to start in the New Year.

This means now is a great time to get in touch.

The Opportunity:


These opportunities would suit strong private sector administrators looking to break into federal government, or APS3's looking to secure a promotion opportunity.

Contract roles vary in length, and almost all offer extension opportunities including transitioning into a permanent role.


We know that a key part of an EAs role is your relationship with your executive and we work hard not only to make sure you're a match in terms of skills and experience but also ensure the culture is a strong match and you're able to build a strong and successful professional relationship with your team.


The Role:

Your key duties would include, but not be limited to:

  • Manage and organise your executive's diary, book travel and arrange meetings
  • Manage and prioritise correspondence in your executive's inbox
  • Prepare meeting papers and ensure the operations of the office run smoothly
  • Liaise with other areas of the department and external stakeholders
  • Undertake administration and coordination tasks for the wider branch

The Person:


If you're highly organised and thrive in an administration and support role and have performed in a similar position within private sector or government now may be the time to take your next step.


If you are up for a challenge, with the ability to work across competing deadlines and provide support to multiple areas at once, you'll have the opportunity to work in a fast-paced and quickly changing environment.

Great EAs are friendly with the ability to confidently communicate with senior staff and can build working relationships naturally.

You must have demonstrated EA or Administration experience in the private or public sector. A current security clearance is highly desirable but is not essential.

Salary / Rate:

  • APS4 labour hire: $45 $48p/h + 10.5% super or equivalent salary for nonongoing roles.
  • APS5 labour hire: $49 $55p/h + 10.5% super or equivalent salary for nonongoing roles.
  • Various locations across Canberra
  • 612 month nonongoing or labour hire contracts with extension options
