Details: Join the team behind Australia's largest celebration of cultural diversity. As a Senior Event Officer, you will help deliver the National Multicultural Festival, Canberra's flagship street event and one of Australia's most celebrated cultural festivals. Every year, the festival brings hundreds of thousands of visitors together to experience food, music, dance and traditions from around the world, showcasing the rich cultural diversity that makes Canberra such a welcoming and connected city.

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a high-profile, nationally recognised event. Senior Event Officers may undertake a range of responsibilities including creative program development, scheduling, production coordination, event operations, volunteer management, and community engagement.

We are looking for an experienced and motivated event professional or cultural producer to support the planning and delivery of the National Multicultural Festival and, other events, programs and initiatives. The ideal candidate will be highly organised, detail-oriented and proactive, with strong administration, communication and stakeholder engagement skills.

They will be comfortable managing high volumes of process-driven work, including activities such as contract administration, grant management and program coordination, while maintaining accuracy and delivering high-quality outcomes. They will also have strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build positive relationships with artists, participants, volunteers, community organisations and stakeholders from diverse cultural backgrounds. Experience working with multicultural communities, whether through professional experience or lived experience, would be highly valued.

The Women, Youth, LGBTIQA+ and Multicultural Affairs Branch, within the Health and Community Services Directorate, delivers programs, services and events that strengthen inclusion, participation and community connection across the ACT. The Branch leads the National Multicultural Festival and other initiatives that celebrate and support Canberra's diverse communities.

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.

HCSD is an inclusive employer where all people are respected and valued for their contribution.
