Appointment Pool
We are seeking to establish a pool of senior consultants for appointments to fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during 2022 and until the end of June 2023.
The Role and our Branch
This is an exciting opportunity for you to thrive in a strategic and collaborative team of online communicators. Join us in delivering quality service and producing clear communications to all stakeholders across our large government agency.
Intranet Services is a part of the Department’s wider Communications and Media area. We are a creative team who work at a fast pace, often within challenging timelines. Your ability to contribute to team processes, take initiative, embrace challenges and focus on successful outcomes will see you succeed in these roles.
We are looking for a well-rounded person, who can hit the ground running. You might come with a background in communications (online, corporate, or other), journalism, public relations, or a mix of some or all of these. No day is ever the same, with interesting and challenging work hitting your desk every day. You need to be self-motivated, driven, highly organised and have solid experience in contributing to a high-functioning team. You will also need to be able to think on your feet and work under pressure to meet competing priorities.
Experience in writing for an online environment is ideal. Experience with a content management system is a bonus, but it is not essential.
The main responsibilities of these roles include:
- delivering clear and strategic internal communications
- developing accessible digital content for our intranet
- engaging with stakeholders to define business processes and identifying improvement strategies
- delivering content principles training.
We’re looking for people who mirror our work behaviours of being purposeful, connected, high performing and leading ethically. We are passionate about what we do. We want someone who values the work that we do, as well as everyone in the team.
We encourage those with diverse professional experiences to apply.
