Details
: About the JobThe ACT Government aims to the most progressive jurisdiction in Australia for our workforce practices. We may be small, but we are already recognised for propelling change through contemporary employment conditions. We have an exciting work agenda, that includes embracing agility and flexibility, and ensuring that our industrial relations and employment framework is prepared to face rapidly changing workforce arrangements in the ACT. Our team is part of the Office of Industrial Relations and Workforce Strategy which is leading work on shaping the culture and workforce practices of the ACTPS.
We have an opportunity for a Director, Legal Coordination to join us here in the Public Sector Employment team and make meaningful change and contributions in the ACTPS employment framework.
As the Director, Legal Coordination, you can expect to be on the forefront of an exciting and challenging work program modernising a responsive and agile employment framework.
Our team is doing some leading-edge work in providing our ACTPS employees with contemporary and supportive employment entitlements; for example, we are enhancing and transforming our entitlements to flexible and hybrid work across the service, which will ensure the ACTPS is an employer of choice
The nature of the work that we undertake is complex and there are times when the Office of Industrial Relations and Workforce Strategy may seek legal advice or services from the ACT Government Solicitor’s Office (GSO). The Director, Legal Coordinator will oversee responsibility for managing all requests for legal advice to determine if legal advice is required, coordinating these requests and understanding the status of them, following up on outstanding matters and communicating the advice received.
If you have a strong desire to perform meaningful work and undertake critical thinking and problem solving, then this is the job for you
Landing this job will mean leading a team that is responsible for developing, negotiating and implementing enterprise agreements, related policies, and processes, and for providing high quality advice to the ACT Government and directorates. You will also assist in providing essential work in the application, implementation and interpretation of Public Sector employment related legislation. You will also collaborate to develop (or provide advice) on workable solutions, working closely with a vast range of stakeholders across the ACTPS.
Most importantly, you will work with a team of enthusiastic professionals who come from a variety of professional backgrounds and areas of expertise so don’t expect to do it alone. The Public Sector Employment team value a strong work ethic but also have a solid sense of humour. The team has a highly connected and collaborative work culture and would welcome a person who has the interpersonal qualities as well as an agile and adaptive style to match the changing workflow and priorities that come with being a small team within the CMTEDD directorate.
Need ACTPS experience?
No, you don’t have to be from the ACTPS or public sector to apply. We love new and different ways of thinking and we’ll help you learn our context (and acronyms).
Where can you work?
We have access to ongoing hybrid work arrangements including home-based and activity-based working (ABW) when working from the office (located at 220 London Circuit, Canberra City) and our new Innovation Centre.
Diverse background?
The ACT Public Service supports workforce diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive workplace. As part of this commitment, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with disability, culturally and linguistically diverse people and those who identify as LGBTIQ+ are encouraged to apply.
Eligibility/ Other Requirements: Qualifications in law and familiarity and/or qualifications in industrial relations or human resources will be highly regarded.
