2 days ago
Queensland is facing a complex future, with the increased frequency and impact of disasters often resulting in serious damage and disruptions to Queensland communities. We are looking for leaders to help strengthen our disaster management system to ensure we are ready for what's to come. As the Manager (Disaster Management), you will lead a small yet highly effective team to support the IGEM to provide independent assurance about Queensland's disaster management arrangements to build confidence in our system. This will be done through: - Undertaking evidence based systematic and thematic reviews - Coordination of relevant research initiatives - Community engagement activities (such as forums, consultation). You will use your expertise to provide evidence based, high level advice, undertake assurance activities, and develop and undertake engagement directly with communities and the disaster management sector. Under the leadership of the Director, Disaster Management, you will work closely with internal and external stakeholders, government and non-government agencies, as well as not-for-profits to build strategic partnerships by connecting organisations, people, knowledge and the experience they possess, to help make Queensland a safer more resilient state through Prevention, Preparedness, Response, Recovery and Resilience. Our new Manager (Disaster Management) will have a very good understanding of Queensland's disaster management arrangements. You will have extensive experience in disaster management. A tertiary qualification in disaster/emergency management or public administration is not mandatory but would be highly desirable. A valid Queensland "C" class driver's licence or equivalent is also highly desirable. **Your key accountabilities include**: - Lead, manage and develop highly effective teams to deliver assurance activities. - Manage the preparation of complex reports, discussion papers, submissions, briefs and correspondence, presentations, media briefs, talking points, speeches, and publications, for consideration by the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) and the Inspector-General. - Develop and deliver high-level, authoritative and timely evidence-based briefings to ELT and the Inspector-General on unique and emerging matters that are or may be relevant to the Office. - Build, manage and sustain positive working relationships and partnerships, through effective communication, with colleagues, stakeholders across all levels of government, industry, non-government organisations and not-for-profits, to achieve policy outcomes, deliver on client and stakeholder needs, and deliver on Government commitments. - Provide high-level evidence-based, authoritative and concise written and verbal briefs that identify leading practice and areas of improvement. - Represent the Office on high level committees and working groups to achieve policy outcomes and deliver on Government commitments including managing and participating in community forums and consultation.
