The opportunities
The department is seeking motivated and proactive individuals to provide high-level administrative and executive support to senior executive service (SES) officers and their respective teams.
These are critical roles that offer a challenging and rewarding experience with exposure to government decision-makers. Successful officers may be expected to provide support to multiple senior executive staff.
We welcome candidates from government and non-government backgrounds, who can add value by using their initiative and judgement to recognise issues, develop solutions and anticipate and respond to the needs of our senior executive officers.
