- APS 6 : $94,791 - $106,546
- National Office, Tuggeranong

**Position Description**:
The APS 6 Executive Assistant (EA) will be working to and supporting the Deputy Secretary/Senior Executive Services (SES) Band 3 for the Disability and Carers Stream. The Disability and Carers Stream is responsible for policy development and program management related to disability and carers, including the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

The EA to the Deputy Secretary is a position of trust that requires sound judgement, outstanding organisational and communication skills, a 'can-do' attitude, and the ability to juggle competing priorities. The EA filters and attends to the day-to-day administrative and coordination functions that support the Deputy Secretary's role, office and the broader Stream, so that the Deputy Secretary can focus on leadership, strategy, stakeholder and management functions.

The EA works closely and collaboratively with the Executive Officer and Executive Support Officer to ensure the effective coordination of activities and workflow of the office, and directly with the SES to ensure priorities are met. The APS 6 EA will also provide mentoring and peer support to the Stream APS 4 and APS 5 EAs.

During peak periods, some additional hours or working outside of standard hours may be required.
