**The Role**
The Australian Defence Force (ADF) offers more than 150 different jobs, some of which are considered particularly complex and/or high risk from a psychological standpoint, including roles in Aviation, Intelligence, Cyber Warfare, Submarine Warfare, and Special Forces. Applicants for these complex roles are required to undergo targeted psychological assessments as part of their selection process.
This position is responsible for managing the ongoing development and publication of the ADF's Psychology Services Manual (PSYMAN). The PSYMAN comprises the policy, guidelines and standards which guide Psychologists conducting assessments with applicants seeking to join the ADF, and/or transfer from one ADF job role to another. As an experienced Policy Manager / Project Officer, you will lead a small team responsible for stakeholder engagement, communications and general project administration, as well as the development of PSYMAN content, as a core component of the transition to a principles-based approach.
The current vacancy is Non-ongoing for up to 12 months, however we will be creating a merit pool for both Ongoing and Non-ongoing positions.
**About our Team**
The Psychology Policy & Governance Team manages the ongoing review, development, maintenance and publication of the ADF's Psychology Services Manual (PSYMAN), the core source of technical guidance for Defence psychologists engaged in the conduct of Occupational Suitability Assessments (OSA).
The PSYMAN is currently undergoing a comprehensive structural and content review to ensure it remains comprehensive, current and generally fit for purpose in meeting the needs of a constantly evolving Defence Force. Recent and current events, including the Royal Commission into ADF and Veterans Suicide, have raised the profile of mental health within the ADF, meaning that the importance of making sure the right person gets selected and trained has perhaps never been more recognised. The Psychology Policy & Governance team is dedicated to ensuring that psychological assessments underpinning the OSA process are reliable, valid, and consistent with relevant legal, ethical and organisational requirements.
Our ideal applicant will have a tertiary qualification (preferably post-graduate) and background in psychology or a related discipline, and will be able to demonstrate prior success developing health-related policy and/or managing a similar policy development role in a complex environment. You will also be required to demonstrate a sound understanding of project management principles and practices, including the ability to successfully manage sometimes conflicting inputs from multiple stakeholders representing different perspectives (eg, single-Service Psychology elements; personnel policy; health policy). As a result, the successful applicant will require strong consultation and stakeholder management skills, strong written and oral communication skills, and the ability to manage multiple ongoing tasks. A demonstrated ability to effectively lead a small closely knit team is also essential.
