**Position Description**:
Contract Managers are known in the Hub as Funding Arrangement Managers or FAMs. As a FAM, you will play a critical role to the Hub’s success in ensuring that Government’s funded programs are delivered effectively to support Australian people and communities.

Working in close connection to service providers and community, you will be the ‘eyes and ears’ of the department as you:

- engage regularly with funded organisations to ensure that programs are being delivered in a way that is consistent with the requirements of the grant agreement
- build networks and relationships with funded organisations, as well as other key stakeholders such as the not-for-profit community sector, Commonwealth, state and territory governments, local government, peak representative organisations, and research bodies
- gather local intelligence on how programs are being delivered on-the-ground to inform policy development and program re-design

Training will be provided to assist new staff to perform their role.

Occasional travel may also be required.

**Eligibility / Additional Requirements**:
To be eligible for employment with Department of Social Services (the department), you must be an Australian citizen. An applicant's suitability for employment with the Department will be assessed through a pre-employment screening process. This will include an identity and criminal history background check.

**Eligibility to obtain an Australian Government Security Clearance**:
The suitable applicant must also obtain and maintain a security clearance conducted by the Australian Government Security Vetting Agency (AGSVA).

Applicants also must be able to establish their background as checkable to be considered eligible for a security clearance. Any gaps or periods of time spent overseas for 12 or more months (cumulative) that cannot be verified by an Australian referee is deemed uncheckable, rendering the applicant ineligible for a security clearance. Background history must cover 5 / 10 years (Baseline / Negative Vet 1 or Negative Vet 2) of employment, education, residential, criminal history and anything else specified by the AGSVA. The suitable applicant must be willing to disclose all relevant and required information to fulfil this process.
