The Role

Reporting to the Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) Assistant Secretary, the Director is responsible for leading a large geographically dispersed team, delivering the Job Ready Program (JRP) to prospective skilled migrants seeking permanent residency in Australia under the Skilled Migration Program.

The JRP is one of six skills assessment services provided by TRA, a skilled migration assessing authority authorised under the Migration Regulations 1994. TRA works closely with the Department of Home Affairs and Jobs and Skills Australia, to support planning to maximise skilled migration as a solution to address Australia's workforce needs.

The JRP Director position offers an opportunity for an experienced applicant to lead a large section to achieve diverse deliverables. This includes the provision of skills assessments to over 12,000 applicants annually, quality assurance and compliance activities, ongoing stakeholder and contract management, and input to the longer-term redesign and reform on the skills assessment architecture.

Duties And Responsibilities

Responsibilities of the Executive Level 2 may include:
  • Leading the ongoing delivery of the JRP, including maintaining program KPIs, managing program finances and complex service contracts.
  • Building productive working relationships with internal stakeholders across the department and external stakeholders such as the Department of Home Affairs and the Jobs and Skills Commission to ensure TRA policy and service delivery is aligned with broader Government priorities and make recommendations to the executive for change where necessary.
  • Demonstrate effective leadership and management, encouraging collaboration and information sharing to achieve results for the section and broader branch and group objectives. The Director identifies staff capability and develops staff, providing timely and constructive feedback and managing performance.
  • Build and sustain internal and external networks, liaising with stakeholders on highly complex and/or sensitive issues, working to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.
  • Lead a healthy and safe working environment, modelling and promoting ethical behaviour and practices, professionalism, and integrity consistent with the APS Values and Code of Conduct.
