Our client is a prestigious national agency at the forefront of combating serious and organised crime. As a prominent player in the national intelligence community, they deliver strategic insights and operational support to address complex criminal threats.

They are dedicated to maintaining high standards of excellence and offer a dynamic and supportive work environment where top professionals can make a substantial impact on national security and criminal justice.

The Opportunity

Due to internal movements, they are looking to appoint two experienced Executive Assistants to support senior executives at the SES Band 1 level. This is a great opportunity for candidates from either the APS or private sector who are ready to take on a high-impact, high-trust support role.

These roles are available on a 12-month non-ongoing basis with a view to permanency, or as an ongoing transfer at level.

You’ll join a close-knit EA cohort with shared knowledge, structure, and strong peer support. You’ll also benefit from hands-on training, visibility across a large and complex branch, and genuine professional development supported by SES leaders who value and invest in their staff.

The Role

This isn’t just diary wrangling. You’ll be right in the thick of things, working closely with executive leadership to keep the wheels turning.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing busy calendars and executive inboxes
• Providing budget and coordination support
• Preparing and reviewing documents and correspondence
• Liaising with internal and external stakeholders
• Supporting meetings, travel, and branch-wide administration
• Using sound judgement to triage issues and handle priorities when the SES is unavailable
• Attending meetings and contributing to team discussions

You’ll be encouraged to work with autonomy, use initiative, and play an active role in improving processes and outcomes.

The Ideal Person

You’re an experienced EA, team assistant or senior administrator who:

• Communicates clearly and confidently – both in writing and verbally
• Can juggle competing demands and make smart calls under pressure
• Is comfortable working independently and knows when to escalate
• Has great attention to detail and takes ownership of their work
• Brings a positive, proactive, and flexible attitude to the workplace
• Values being part of a team and contributing to broader goals

You don’t need to have government experience or hold an existing clearance – but you must be eligible to obtain an NV1 security clearance, which will be arranged after placement.

Salary / Rate

• $77k - $83k + 15.4% Super
• Permanent s26 Transfer or 12 Month Non-Ongoing with view to permanent
• Security Clearance preferred but not essential
