Acton, Australia Elliott Gray Full time

35 hour working week
- Varied support role covering EA and Project Support
- Suits skilled administrator passionate about support for First Nations People

The ANU is a great employer in Canberra, offering a long list of employment conditions that are hard to beat - including ample opportunities for those who are permanent residents to Australia

Within this exceptional organisation is a small, but highly-focused portfolio established to contribute to the advancement of Australia's Indigenous peoples. It is this portfolio that brings this exciting opportunity to the booming Canberra market. We are on the lookout for a highly-skilled administrator who can lend their hand to a range of exciting functions in a varied and high-profile role.

The Executive Assistant/Project Officer within the First Nations Portfolio will report directly to the Vice President, while also providing executive support to the Chief Operating Officer.

As an EA you are a master of your trade. We need someone with a highly attentive approach, potentially more aligned to a traditional Personal Assistant in function. The role will oversee extensive travel and will require a proactive and forward-thinking approach.

The Project Officer component will see you taking a lead in stakeholder engagement critical to the goals of the Portfolio, this is where any prior experience working with First Nations People will be highly regarded. In addition, you will take the lead on coordinating a range of exciting events both internal and external to the University.

Personally, you are a highly ethical and respectful individual. You approach your work with a very high degree of pride, your exceptional attention to detail means you are always on the front foot. Your proactive nature will leave your Executives wondering if there is anything you can't do

In return for the intrinsic reward of working for this very important Portfolio, you will receive an attractive salary package ($85,000 - $95,000 plus super p.a.) and will only work a 35 hour week. This role will initially be offered on a 12 month fixed-term contract, however it is vacant and will be advertised permanently so you will have the opportunity to convert this to a permanent employment opportunity down the track.
