Details: The ACT Government Solicitor (ACTGS) is seeking a highly organised and experienced Senior Executive Assistant to provide high-level executive support to the Solicitor-General and Deputy Chief Solicitor.

In this pivotal role, you will manage complex workflows, coordinate executive priorities, prepare correspondence and briefing materials, provide secretariat support, and act as a key point of contact for internal and external stakeholders. You will also mentor members of the Executive Assistant Team and contribute to the efficient operation of the Office of the Solicitor-General.

To be successful, you will have exceptional organisational and communication skills, sound judgement, a high level of discretion, and the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment. Experience supporting senior executives and a strong understanding of government or corporate administrative processes will be highly regarded.

This is a unique opportunity to work closely with senior leaders in one of the ACT Government's leading legal practices and contribute to the delivery of critical legal services across government.

Eligibility/Other Requirements:

• Due to the nature of the role and the support provided to the Solicitor-General and Deputy Chief Solicitor, onsite attendance is usually required.
• A criminal record check is required for this position.

Note: This is a full-time temporary position available for a period of up to 12 months with the possibility of permanency.

A Merit Pool will be established from this process and may be used to fill future temporary or permanent vacancies over the next 12 months.

Selection may be based on the written application and referee reports only.

This opportunity is open to all eligible applicants.

How to Apply: Applicants are required to submit:

1. A maximum two-page pitch outlining your suitability for the role against the capabilities within the Position Description; and
2. A current curriculum vitae (CV).
3. Details of at least two referees, with one referee being their current supervisor.

Applications should be submitted via the Apply Now button below.

Note: Under the ACTPS employment framework you may be placed in another role where required for the efficient administration of the service.

Where an offer of employment is for a fixed-term period, any related temporary contracts within the Territory will be issued in compliance with the requirements and applicable exceptions outlined in the Fair Work Act.

The ACT public service is committed to closing the gap, underpinned by the belief that when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a genuine say in the design and delivery of policies, programs and services that affect them, better life outcomes are achieved.
