**The Role**

Are you passionate about shaping the future of the Apprenticeship and Traineeship sector? We

are seeking a dynamic and experienced customer or industry support professional to lead a transformative journey that will improve safety and quality outcomes for apprentices and trainees right across Victoria.

The Apprenticeship Case Support Officer (ACSO) will be a part of the team that develops and then operates a centralised Apprenticeship Help Desk with case management functions, to provide a single point of contact for apprentices, trainees and employers to access information, guidance and support.

This role will have relationships with the Apprenticeship Support Officer (ASO) program within Apprenticeships Victoria, as well as key regulators within the Apprenticeship and Traineeship system, such as the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA), Fair Work Ombudsman, Labour Hire Authority and WorkSafe. Industrial and industry expertise will be an element that is required or developed as part of the help desk.

The Apprenticeship Assistance Program team will provide a first point of contact for apprentices, trainees and employers via various help desk communication mediums. It will triage inquiries and complaints and provide a case management function for serious issues, such as not being released for training, safety concerns in the workplace and underpayment of wages.

Where the matter is a complaint, the complaint will be lodged via an agreed pathway with the appropriate regulator, and the issue tracked and monitored through a database. The case management approach will ensure that apprentices and trainees have a single point of contact and are supported throughout their complaint with regular proactive contact from the case manager.

The Apprenticeship Support Officer - Help Desk will seek to avoid duplication with existing and planned responsibilities of Apprentice Connect Australia Provider (ACAPs) and HeadStart, particularly around sign-up.

- Provide high quality case management and specialist advice, assisting parties to improve understanding of rights and roles, clarify issues and explore potential solutions and find mutually acceptable outcomes.

- Manage incoming enquiries and triage in line with policies and procedures in a sensitive, accurate and efficient manner.
- Anticipate customer needs and provide responses that include additional helpful information related to a query.
- Manage complaints including support and monitoring of progress of referrals through to all seven applicable regulatory bodies
