Canberra, Australia ACT Government Full time

The ACT Government is committed to strengthening our community engagement approach to build a more trusted partnership between government and the Canberra community. As the Engagement Communications Officer you will play a key role in communicating this commitment and supporting practical and cultural change across the ACT Public Service.

Our role is to ensure the Canberra community is well informed on government programs, policies and services, and has meaningful opportunities to inform decision making. We listen to the people of Canberra and are their voice in government.

In this role you will work with officers in other directorates across government to influence and support engagement best practice. Using a range of tools and an evidence-based approach you will help to develop and bring consistency and quality to our processes.

You will support directorates with their community engagements, participate in the evaluation and reporting of engagements across the ACT Government, and ensuring adherence to the engagement governance framework.

You will have excellent relationship-building skills, have a focus on finding solutions and be able to work collaboratively.

Drawing on your strong written and verbal communication skills and with relationship building experience, you will be joining a passionate and innovative team. You will work on a range of interesting projects which create meaningful change for the people of Canberra.

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. Hear about CMTEDD from some of our staff.

**Notes**: An order of merit will be established from this selection process and may be used to fill future identical vacancies over the next 12 months. This position is based in workplace designed for activity-based working (ABW). Under ABW arrangements, officers will not have a designated workstation/desk. The opportunity to work from home exist as operational needs allow.

**How to Apply**: A two-page pitch that tells the selection committee about your ability to perform the advertised role (knowledge, experience, skills, behaviour) and why you are the best person for this role.

The pitch should demonstrate your capacity to perform the duties and responsibilities detailed in “What You Will Do” at the specified classification including examples of how you have done this in the past.
