Details: Help shape integrity across the ACT Public Service
Join a team that sits at the centre of workplace integrity across the ACT Public Service.
The Professional Standards Unit plays a key role in promoting integrity, accountability and respectful workplace behaviour across the ACT Public Service. We're looking for a skilled Senior Investigator to join our high-performing team and help deliver work that makes a genuine difference.
In this role, you'll lead complex misconduct investigations, engage with a diverse range of people and stakeholders, and contribute to improvements that strengthen workplace culture across government. It's challenging, meaningful work that offers variety, professional growth and the opportunity to influence better outcomes for the ACTPS as a whole.
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.
Eligibility/Other requirements: Relevant investigative qualifications such as a Certificate IV in Government Investigations are highly desirable.
Notes: This is a temporary position available immediately for six months with the possibility of permanency. A Merit Pool will be established from this selection process and may be used to fill vacancies over the next 12 months. Selection may be based on application and referee reports only. Flexible Working/Hybrid Options: Opportunities for flexible working options could include hybrid working, being a combination of working from home and designated office location, flexible start, and finish times.
How to Apply: Submit a two-pitch addressing the listed capabilities for the position ('What You Require'), along with a curriculum vitae of no more than two pages.
Applications should be submitted .
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.
