Canberra, Australia Australian Capital Territory Full time

Executive Support Officer
Full-time Permanent

Support the leaders who protect our community.

There is an exciting opportunity to work with ACT Fire & Rescue as part of the ACT Emergency Services Agency (ESA) Executive Support team. Does a perfectly colour-coded calendar both calm and excite you? Do you secretly thrive from daily organised chaos? Would you pride yourself in assisting the ACT F&R Chief to stay on track? If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.

ACT Fire & Rescue (ACTF&R) is seeking a highly organised and proactive Executive Support Officer to provide high-level support to the Chief Officer and broader ACTF&R team.

With ten strategically located fire stations and a dedicated volunteer cohort of nearly 450 Community Fire Unit members, ACTF&R delivers excellence in emergency management and community education.

About the Role

A day in the life might include:

- Playing tetras with calendars and scheduling meetings like a pro.
- Keeping inboxes under control and branch travel arrangements on track.
- Credit card and travel expense reconciliations and invoice processing because who doesn’t enjoy crunching numbers and seeing perfectly balanced figures.
- Be the behind-the-scenes hero for ACTF&R committees—crafting agendas, capturing minutes like a pro, and keeping action items on track.
- Draft sharp reports, compelling briefing papers, and polished correspondence while collaborating with a mix of internal and external legends.
- Be the go-to support for ACTF&R staff and volunteers, helping keep operations smooth and spirits high.
- Spot opportunities to make office systems smarter, faster, and more fabulous—and share your genius with the team.

Why Join ACTF&R?

- Be part of a respected emergency service supporting the ACT community.
- Work in a dynamic, purpose-driven environment.
- Contribute to meaningful projects and initiatives.
- Supportive team culture with a focus on inclusion and diversity.

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where people with diverse thoughts, lived experience, and perspectives can thrive and contribute their unique talents to the ACTPS and ACT community. We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, people with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, veterans, younger and older workers, and people with diverse genders, sexes and sexualities to apply.

Eligibility/Other requirements:

- This position does not require a Working with Vulnerable People Check.
- This position does not require a pre-employment medical.
- The successful applicant will need to be available for occasional weekend and after-hours work.
- To be eligible for permanent or temporary employment within the ACT Public Service (ACTPS) you must be an Australian citizen, a permanent resident or hold a valid work visa.
- If an officer no longer holds a visa that permits them to work in Australia, their employment with the ACT Public Service (ACTPS) will be terminated.
