Canberra, Australia ACT Government Full time

Details

: Do you have experience in governance and administration? Are you looking for a position where you can build relationships with a wide variety of stakeholders? Do you like to think creatively to solve problems? Do you want to contribute to the safety and security of the ACT?

The Security and Emergency Management Division (SEMD) is primarily responsible for the development and coordination of strategic security and emergency management policy matters for the ACT Government. SEMD has a whole-of-government focus and works closely with security and emergency management personnel across all Directorates.

We are looking for the right person to lead and champion our governance and provide high level committee and secretariat support. If you are super organised, self-motivated and enjoy working in a fast paced and dynamic environment, you will excel in this position. Ideally you will have sound communication and negotiation skills and have well developed customer services skills. Experience in finance management would be an advantage.

We are after someone that has great process, coordination, and communication skills, and who can manage their own working day to get everything done on time. Key duties will include ensuring responsiveness and timeliness in Ministerial and Executive matters, overseeing internal and external recommendations, managing HR and finance matters, monitoring organisational plans, and acting as a central point of contact for the Division.

How you go about your work is important to us and we value the positive workplace culture in our division. You will need to be skilled at work collaboratively with colleagues, developing stakeholder relationships and will be expected to contribute to maintaining our positive culture and upbeat momentum.

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 diverse people and those who identify as LGBTIQ are encouraged to apply.

Need ACT Public Service (ACTPS) experience?

No, you don’t have to be from the ACTPS to apply.

Eligibility/Other requirements: This position is a Designated Security Assessed Position. Australian citizenship and a current Negative Vetting 1 (NV1) security clearance, or ability to obtain and hold an NV1 security clearance, is an eligibility qualification for this position.

Notes: A Merit Pool will be established from this selection process and will be used to fill vacancies over the next 12 months. This position will be located in a workplace designed for activity-based working (ABW). Under ABW arrangements, officers will not have a designated workstation/desk. Current and former ADF members are encouraged to apply.
