Why join us:

See how you impact and influence immediately. Your advice and recommendations will help the Executive Team, Chief Executive Officer and Board make decisions without the need to work through layers of sign-off.
The chance to help build something. There's real opportunity to contribute to how ACT Leave's finance function operates.
Work with an Executive and Leadership team that will know your name and back your career goals.
Flexible working arrangements are available
Competitive ACT Government remuneration, leave and superannuation conditions.
Investment in your development with training and career pathways tailored to your professional goals.

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:

Highly Desirable:

Tertiary qualification in accounting, finance, commerce or related discipline.
Membership of CPA Australia, Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand or an equivalent, recognised professional accounting membership.

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.
