Are you looking for a challenging role in a dynamic multi-faceted work environment? If so, look no further!

The ACT Public Advocate (who is also the ACT Children and Young People Commissioner) is seeking a passionate, highly motivated, and well organised person to work as an Advocacy Systems Officer in her Public Advocacy team.

The Public Advocate has legislative responsibility for protecting and promoting the rights and interests of people in the ACT who are experiencing vulnerability. Some of these functions are specific to children and young people, and others encompass people with complex disability needs, including older persons and those with mental health conditions and/or forensic patients.

The Advocacy Systems Officer will provide administration and systems support to enable the activities of a team of staff who operationalise the Public Advocate’s functions by seeking to ensure that the services and systems that support persons experiencing vulnerability do so in a way that assures their safety and wellbeing, while being appropriately cognisant of their rights.

The Advocacy Systems Officer role is a fantastic opportunity to develop and improve the processes which enable oversight of these services and systems, and to support individual and systemic advocacy to promote better outcomes and system improvements.

Note: A Merit Pool will be established from this selection process and will be used to fill vacancies over the next 12 months. Selection may be based on application and referee reports only.

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where people with diverse thoughts, lived experience, and perspectives can thrive and contribute their unique talents to the ACTPS and ACT community. We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, people with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, veterans, younger and older workers, and people with diverse genders, sexes and sexualities to apply.
