About The Department Of Employment And Workplace Relations

We are committed to empowering futures, ensuring rights and enriching lives. We support people to have safe, secure and well-paid work with the skills for a sustainable future as we ourselves strive to be a model employer.

We provide the framework for fair and productive relationships between employers and employees. We also oversee skills development and training initiatives to support those entering the workforce or re-training to take advantage of emerging employment opportunities.

With us, your work directly contributes to shaping the employment landscape. Whether you are engaging in policy development, program implementation, or direct support services, your efforts will have a tangible impact on job seekers, employees and the economy by giving them a framework to build a future anchored and realised through employment.

It is our ambition to do things differently, to create the ‘department of great jobs’– where our people reflect our purpose.

The Role

Are you a self-starter with strong administrative skills, have a history of high performance, and enjoy helping others to stay organised and achieve results? Do you have excellent communication skills, thrive on building relationships with a diversity of people, and helping to solve problems that make a difference to people’s lives and your community? Then this may be the role you’ve been looking for.

This role reports to the North and North Western Tasmania Australian Government Employment Facilitator. Working as a team, you will respond to challenges and take advantage of opportunities to improve the labour market in your region. The North and North Western Tasmania Australian Government Employment Facilitator connects, collaborates and coordinates with stakeholders to identify and act on local labour market priorities. As the Program Officer, you will provide the North and North Western Tasmania Australian Government Employment Facilitator with administrative support to help them manage their time and keep them organised while they are on the road. At other times you may be engaging directly with stakeholders. The Program Officer role will cater to your administrative strengths, while offering development opportunities in stakeholder engagement, communication, and networking skills.

This is not a standard desk job. Each day will be different. The successful candidate will have a high degree of personal drive, initiative and integrity, as well as a passion for helping people to collaborate and deliver outcomes for their local community. You may live in a different part of the region to the North and North Western Tasmania Australian Government Employment Facilitator, so will enjoy working independently and operating as a virtual team to ensure milestones and timeframes are achieved. You will be required to hold a current Australian driver’s licence and travel regularly throughout the North and North Western Tasmania Region (and surrounds) as a representative of the Australian Government at stakeholder forums and events.

The position requires a physical presence in the region as you are expected to be available for face-to-face meetings and community engagements with stakeholders, this may be up to four days a week. Not all meetings will be in office hours, and the role is likely to require some out of hours work within the region.

Duties And Responsibilities

Your role will operate within the Local Jobs Program to support the efforts of the North and North Western Tasmania Australian Government Employment Facilitator. You will help bring together key stakeholders including employers, employment services providers, education and training organisations to collaboratively address challenges and opportunities within the region.
