Details: The Health and Community Services Directorate is seeking a motivated and highly organised Project Support and Coordination Off icer (ASO6) to join the Commercial Services and Strategy team within Housing Assistance. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to strategic housing and homelessness initiatives that deliver meaningful outcomes for the ACT community.

Working in a fast-paced and collaborative environment, you will support the planning, coordination and implementation of projects, programs and reforms that align with Government priorities and strengthen service delivery. You will work closely with stakeholders across Housing Assistance, HCSD and other ACT Government agencies to help deliver initiatives from concept through to implementation, while ensuring strong governance, accountability and value-for-money outcomes.
The role provides a unique opportunity to develop and apply skills across project management, procurement, grants administration, commercial analysis and stakeholder engagement.

An understanding of public sector governance and accountability principles, or the ability to quickly acquire this knowledge, will be highly regarded.

In return, you will join a supportive team committed to innovation, collaboration and continuous improvement, with the opportunity to contribute to work that has a direct impact on housing and homelessness outcomes across the Territory.
