**About the directorate**

The NDIS Worker Check is a division of the OCG. It operates under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Worker Checks) Act 2018 (NSW). It screens workers that provide services and supports to people with disability (adults and children) under the NDIS. It aims to support people with disability by preventing workers that pose a risk of harm from working closely with them. We gather information about a person’s history, such as their criminal and workplace records, and undertake an assessment as to whether they pose a risk.

**About the role**

The role reviews history information about applicants and makes an assessment as to whether they pose a risk of harm to people with disability (NDIS participants). It collects information from disparate sources; analyses the information and makes sound recommendations about the probity of the information, and assesses whether a person poses a risk of harm.

It conducts the role in accordance with relevant legislation, policies and procedures and makes consistent, considered and evidence-based recommendations.

We are seeking a motivated and resilient person to:

- Review and categorise criminal, workplace and other records in accordance with relevant legislation and business procedures.
- Identify and obtain relevant information from external parties including applicants and employers to inform the assessment process.
- Critically analyse information to form a view on its probity and weight in an assessment.
- Ensure that communication (written and verbal) with applicants is clear, simple and easy to understand, while communicating complex and sensitive information.
- Ability to distil complex and sensitive matters into concise, accurate and persuasive advice on the assessment of risk.

**Key knowledge and experience**
- Demonstrated experience in risk analysis and assessment is preferred.
- Proven experience in administrative or regulatory decision making is preferred.

**Essential requirements**
- A tertiary qualification in a relevant discipline and/or extensive relevant workplace experience is required.
- All roles associated with the Office of the Children's Guardian are required to have a current Working With Children Check.

For further information about the role, please view the **role description**.

**Our commitment to Diversity**

**How to apply**

**Targeted questions**

1. Describe a set of circumstances that resulted in a particularly difficult or sensitive conversation with a customer or colleague. What were the issues/challenges and what was your approach to resolving these issues?

2. Provide an example of a time when your performance resulted in timely and quality outcomes. In your answer, please outline the steps you took in achieving the outcome and whether you could have done anything differently.
**Note**: the selection process will include a range of assessment techniques to assist in determining your suitability for the role.
