Canberra, Australia ACT Government Full time

**Working with the Community Services Directorate (CSD)**:
**This is an identified position for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Persons.**

Are you interested in a career that makes a meaningful contribution to people’s lives?

Working with CSD offers you the opportunity to contribute to achieving our vision to empower people to meet their full potential and enable the development and growth of inclusive, vibrant and strong communities. Our responsibilities cover a wide range of human service functions in the ACT, including: multicultural affairs, public and community housing services, children, youth and family support, seniors, veterans, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander affairs, homelessness programs, women, community engagement, domestic and family violence support, and community disaster recovery.

At CSD we value our people and the significant contribution they make to our success in supporting the Canberra Community. Everyday our diverse workforce collaborates and drives client centred services to assist the community in creating a safe and equitable environment across the ACT. Our culturally responsive selection process reflects this focus and is structured to not only have you share with us what you can do, but also who you are.

As a CSD employee you have access to generous remuneration and leave entitlements and a range of role appropriate flexible working options, including hybrid/remote work, where appropriate for the role. You will value an organisational focus on enabling effective learning and development options, along with diverse career pathways which will stretch and grow your capability. In addition, you will have the opportunity to join other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff working in various areas of the directorate who can provide a cultural safe environment, share cultural values and undertake yarns to support your development.

**About the role**:
We have several exciting career opportunities for Project/Policy Officers to join CSD, particularly in our Housing and Homelessness Programs branch. In these roles you will contribute to policy and projects focused on delivering positive outcomes for the ACT community, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

The ideal Policy/Project Officers will have experience contributing to strategic policy and program initiatives which deliver positive outcomes for community. We are seeking team players who value growth and development and display respect, integrity, collaboration and innovation, along with strong cultural competency.

If you are interested in working for CSD but perhaps not one of these specific roles, we still encourage you to apply, as there will be a merit pool created for future vacancies over the next twelve months.

**Eligibility/other Requirements**:This is a designated position in accordance with s42, _Discrimination Act 1991 _and is only open to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people. Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander heritage is considered essential and therefore a Confirmation of Aboriginality may be requested.

**Note**: A merit pool will be established from this selection process and will be used to fill vacancies over the next 12 months.
