This position sits within the Library Collections and Systems Branch, which develops and maintains the information resources that support the research needs of our researchers, delivers news content for the current awareness of our parliamentary clients, and provides first-line client services.

An ongoing opportunity is currently available in the Collection Management team, which shepherds deselected material through required financial asset procedures, coordinates the binding and repair of collection material, and assists with day-to-day serials tasks and library collection maintenance.

This recruitment process will also be used to fill future ongoing and non-ongoing positions as they arise throughout the next year. The Library Collections and Systems branch employs PSL4 officers in the following other teams:

Client Services and Engagement
Library Subscriptions

The successful applicant will be required to obtain and maintain a Baseline Vetting (Protected/Restricted) security clearance.

Qualifications in library or information studies are desirable.
For roles involving research, writing and advisory tasks, applicants should have a university degree.

At DPS, we are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace that ensures all our people can contribute to our shared purpose. We encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, people with caring responsibilities, people who identify as LGBTQIA+, people from cultural and linguistically diverse backgrounds, people who identify as neurodivergent, and mature aged people.

Salary

Currently, the salary range for this position is $83,415 - $90,639 per annum.

Conditions of Employment

Employment opportunities at the department are subject to a range of conditions prescribed in the Parliamentary Service Act 1999 which include:

Australian citizenship: Section 22 of the Parliamentary Service Act 1999 requires that employees of the Parliamentary Service are generally required to be Australian citizens. However, if you are not an Australian citizen you may be considered for engagement on the condition that you are able to gain Australian Citizenship within a specified time. Failure to obtain citizenship within the timeframe could lead to termination of employment.
Loss and resumption of Australian citizenship: Under historical provisions of the Australian Citizenship Act 1948 (section 17), some Australian citizens automatically lost their citizenship if they voluntarily acquired the citizenship of another country between 26 January 1949 and 3 April 2002. This loss occurred by operation of law and may not have been known to the individual at the time. Although these provisions were repealed in 2002 to allow dual citizenship, the repeal did not restore citizenship that was previously lost. Individuals who believe they may be affected are recommended to seek advice about resuming their Australian citizenship. Further information, is available on the Department of Home Affairs website.
- Applicants who progress to the offer stage with our department who have been affected by the loss of citizenship as outlined above will be required to demonstrate within a reasonable time that they have resumed, or are actively undertaking the process to resume, Australian citizenship.
Security clearance and character clearance: the preferred applicant will be required to obtain and maintain a security clearance at the level specified, as well as complete and be deemed suitable through a Nationally Coordinated Criminal History Check.
Health assessment: a pre-employment health assessment will be required where there are physical or medical requirements for the role.
External Work Approval: Employees must seek approval for any paid employment outside the department and declare voluntary activities that could impact their role.
