Details: The Education Directorate is seeking an experienced and motivated Assistant Director, Teacher Workload Reform to help lead a dedicated work program focussed on workload reform within ACT Public Schools.

Undertake research to support the Sustainable Workload Management Committee to identify the drivers of teacher and school leader workload.
Participate in the identification and development of workforce strategies to maximise teachers’ and school leaders’ time for teaching and learning.
Engage with a variety of internal stakeholders to ensure thorough consultation is undertaken in the consideration of proposed recommendations.
Support the delivery of project design, governance models, structures and scheduling, monitoring measurement, communications and change management activities.
Provide timely intelligence on strategic and/or high-risk projects and programs to the Senior Director, Executive Branch Manager, and to the Sustainable Workload Management Committee, as relevant.
Support the Senior Director and Executive Branch Manager with attendance at key meetings through the coordination and provision of briefings.
Exceptional organisational skills including the demonstrated ability to be proactive and flexible, and to manage competing priorities while working under pressure in a changing work environment.
Be flexible and responsive to the changing needs of the Sustainable Workload Management Committee, including shifts in direction as a result of collaboration.
Perform other duties appropriate to the classification.
This position does not involve direct supervision of staff.

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.

Notes: This is a temporary position available immediately until 24 December 2026 with the possibility of permanency.

How to Apply: Please provide a two-page pitch addressing the Selection Criteria and a copy of your curriculum vitae with the names and contact details of two referees.

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.
