- The Department is committed to helping employees achieve a work/life balance and requests for flexible work arrangements will be considered
**About us**
The Department of the Legislative Assembly is a dynamic and collaborative workplace with a positive, supportive team culture. You will be working in an organisation which is committed to providing excellent impartial advice and support to all Members of the Legislative Assembly to enable them to fulfil their roles as elected representatives of the people of New South Wales. Our staff are passionate about the democratic process and work to ensure the public are involved and engaged in parliamentary activities.
Our 2023 People Matter Survey found that 91% of our employees would recommend the Legislative Assembly as a great place to work. This is 28% higher than the rest of the public sector. We also have an employee engagement rate of 85%, which is 20% higher than the rest of the sector.
The Legislative Assembly also supports flexible work, with work from home arrangements for staff considered.
**About the unit**
Committee Research Officers work within the Scrutiny & Engagement business unit, one of three business units in the Department.
Members of both the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council conduct in-depth studies of important issues through parliamentary committee work, including inquiries. The Scrutiny & Engagement business unit provides research, procedural advice and secretariat support to Legislative Assembly-administered committees to fulfil their functions of legislative, policy and fiscal scrutiny and to facilitate the conduct of parliamentary committee work.
Committees increase public awareness and debate on issues under consideration by Parliament. They benefit the community by reviewing proposed laws, facilitating more informed policy-making and ensuring greater government accountability.
The unit is also passionate about the public’s involvement in parliamentary activities and works to enhance public participation and engagement with the work of the Assembly.
**About the positions**
The Committee Research Officer's primary purpose is research and analyse complex issues, and prepare inquiry reports, briefing notes, and other materials to assist committees to meet their objectives within tight timeframes. They also research and prepare documentation on procedural matters to support the orderly and efficient conduct of committee proceedings. The work produced by Research Officers plays a key part in supporting committees to achieve their desired outcomes. Committee Research Officers (Legal) also play a valuable role in the scrutiny of legislation in the Legislative Assembly.
Research Officers work in a number of small teams to support different committees. They report directly to a Committee Manager who has responsibility for managing the work of the committee. However, there is also a level of autonomy which requires well developed time management skills and self-motivation.
We are looking to fill both Committee Research Officer (Legal) and Committee Research Officer positions. Committees look into a broad range of issues, and we encourage people with relevant legal, policy or financial experience and qualifications to apply.
