**Lily D'Ambrosio, Member for Mill Park**
We are seeking a highly motivated, personable, organised, and community minded individual to join Lily's electorate team.
**About the Role**
Electorate Officers play an important role in providing services to the Victorian community. Reporting to the Member of Parliament that nominates you, your work will require a high degree of trust and integrity. Confidentiality is also a key requirement when interacting with constituents and visitors to the office or in the community.

- General administration and office management
- Constituent services
- Media and stakeholder engagement
- Parliamentary duties
**About you**
Key attributes of responsiveness, effectiveness and accountability are precisely the values and behaviours the successful applicant will need to succeed.
The role of an Electorate Officer requires you to demonstrate:
- Initiative and organisational ability, particularly working autonomously to determine priorities and perform a broad range of office support duties, often to tight and demanding deadlines.
- Sound written and oral communication skills with a proven ability to undertake research and prepare written materials including reports, submissions, and correspondence.
- Excellent computer skills with experience in MS suite of software and use and maintenance of online communications.
- Commitment and ability to provide the highest level of client service in a challenging environment, providing sound advice and maintaining the strictest confidence on all issues.
- Strong knowledge of, and ability to provide advice and guidance on, government and parliamentary processes.
- Strong knowledge of traditional and social media landscape with ability to maintain relationships with journalists and media outlets; and provide advice in a rapidly changing external policy and political environment.
- Ability to collaborate with a diverse range of stakeholders from government and peak organisations to local community organisations and constituents.
- Ability to evaluate work procedures, practices, and systems and to implement change.
- Sound coaching and mentoring skills with ability to support other staff in a team environment, provide direction where required and respect the needs of others.
- Behaviours consistent with Electorate Officer values and Code of Conduct, including the ability to display high levels of responsiveness, integrity, impartiality, accountability, and respect in relationships with others and decision making.
This role will have a particular emphasis on communications and event running, and those with experience in these areas are strongly encouraged to apply.
For more information about the role, please see attached position description.
**Salary and hours of work**
Electorate Officer salaries are set out in the Electorate Officers (Victoria) Single Enterprise Agreement 2021.
Grade 2: $81,832 per annum plus 11% employer superannuation.
We are offering full time hours. The ordinary hours of work will be between 9am to 5pm Monday - Friday.
A six-month probationary period will apply.
**Pre-Employment Screening requirements**
As part of the selection process, you may be asked to complete an online competency or skills assessment.
**How to apply**
**Accessibility**
While Members of Parliament are prohibited from determining that an Electorate Officer can or must perform work that is party specific, Members typically nominate Electorate Officer whose political beliefs are closely aligned with their own. Section 27 of the Equal Opportunity Act 2010 states that an employer may discriminate on the basis of political belief or activity in the offering of employment to an Electorate Officer.
**The Department of Parliamentary Services supports all Members of Parliament in the recruitment and selection process of Electorate Officers. You will receive communications**
