About You

This is a great opportunity to apply your strong leadership abilities to support a competent team to deliver on a broad range of interesting tasks and areas of responsibility. We have a very positive and collaborative Branch culture and are looking for a person who will complement this environment.

You will possess strong personal motivation and initiative, combined with a demonstrated ability to deliver on outputs and exercise sound judgement when seeking to resolve complex issues. Your success requires the ability to direct resources to complete competing tasks; define and develop recommendations on policy issues; clearly communicate technical matters to stakeholders; and demonstrate strategic leadership in a positive team environment.

There are two Assistant Director positions within the Branch, which are both being recruited simultaneously. We are looking for people who value continuous improvement in relation to their work, themselves and their team in filling these positions.  

We welcome applications from a diverse range of applicants and provide flexible, hybrid working options in most roles. We want our employees to reach their full potential which is why we make reasonable adjustments to our recruitment process to enable applicants with disability, illness and injury to fully participate. Please notify us if you require any support or adjustments during the recruitment process to enable your full participation.
