Found in: Talent AU C2 - 4 days ago

Description

Who can apply:

Please note this opportunity is available to current Australian Public Service employees and all eligible members of the community.

National Emergency Management Agency:

National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) was established on 1 September 2022 as a single, accountable Commonwealth authority that delivers a whole-of-nation approach to reducing disaster risk, planning, preparing for, responding to and recovering from all hazards across the emergency management continuum.

NEMA works closely with local communities as well as state and territory Governments to deliver the best outcome for communities across Australia. To help communities respond and recover, while preparing Australia for future emergencies, we:

Fund programs and initiatives, big and small, that help communities in times of emergency, as well as to recover and prepare, including through disaster recovery funding and the Disaster Ready Fund to help reduce the risk and impact of disasters;

Work with communities, industry and non-government organisations by connecting local Regional Support Officers and other NEMA staff right around Australia, to share lessons learnt, provide awareness on navigating Government services, and gain community and industry-led ideas and concepts to inform strategic policy and planning;

Provide national leadership to share knowledge, situational awareness, and trends in disaster efforts to inform, guide and shape the national picture and decision-making at the Commonwealth, state and local Government level – including through policy development and strategy to improve risk reduction, resilience and recovery; and

Provide round-the-clock all-hazards monitoring and operational coordination for domestic and international emergencies, including supply chain disruptions, critical infrastructure outages, biosecurity risks and widespread cyber-attacks, and through supporting preparedness and response activities, including through the operationalisation of the Australian Government Crisis Management Framework.

Overview of the Branch and Section:

National Coordination Mechanism Branch

The National Coordination Mechanism Branch (NCMB) leads NEMA's preparedness initiatives and ensures the Australian Government, states, territories, industry and NGOs are prepared for all hazards and supported when crises occur. NCMB is comprised of three sections: National Coordination Mechanism Operations, National Crisis Exercising and Lessons Capability and Strategic Planning and Engagement.

National Crisis Exercising and Lessons Capability Section

The National Crisis Exercising and Lessons Capability (NCEC) section works collaboratively across the Australian Government and states and territories to design and deliver a program of multi-jurisdictional, multi-agency national exercises to support, examine and evaluate national capabilities for crisis response and recovery. We also support the Emergency Management and Response Group to evaluate and learn from NEMA's internal operational responses and the national exercising program.

Our strategy sets out NEMA's framework for the design and delivery of national crisis exercising and lessons management including a capability uplift program across the Australian Government. The section provides secretariat services for the National Crisis Exercising and Lessons Forum and National Crisis Exercise Steering Committee, and team members can opt-in as rostered members of NEMA's Crisis Coordination Team.

Our work contributes to Australians being better prepared for, and supported during, disasters and emergencies. Our team of high performing, adaptable and collaborative people go above and beyond to contribute to national crisis response and recovery preparedness and coordination while supporting each other to deliver successful outcomes.

About the role:

As an Assistant Director, you will join a dynamic team responsible for the design and delivery of projects within NEMA's national crisis exercising and lessons program. You will manage the delivery of crisis exercise and/or lessons projects and programs and lead a high performing team.

You will have an opportunity to develop your knowledge of Australia's crisis and emergency response architecture whilst driving effective exercise and/or lessons management. You will prepare exercise, lessons and project management documentation, represent NEMA in national-level planning groups, engage with state, territory and industry stakeholders and support reporting and evaluation activities.

Project management, and/or previous crisis related exercising experience and/or lessons management are highly desirable skills for this role.

Members of the team also have an opportunity to support crisis operations and to develop crisis planning expertise.

At times, the role may be required to assist in other functions delivered by the Emergency Response group including the Crisis Coordination Team and may be required to work outside of standard business hours, in support of NEMA operational priorities.

Our ideal candidate:

NEMA is looking for people who are forward thinkers and leaders, who are able to see the bigger picture, and who push boundaries to ensure creative solutions are devised to solve complex problems. Excellent verbal and written communication skills are essential in the role, as well as stakeholder engagement, and project management.

Our ideal candidate will be passionate about assisting the Australian community, delivering effective and compassionate emergency response support and driving long-term preparedness measures and lasting recovery efforts.

We encourage applications from First Nations people, people with disability, LGBTQIA+ people, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, mature age people and people from other diverse backgrounds. We are committed to providing a working environment that values diversity and inclusion and supports staff to reach their full potential.

Work with a level of independence, under broad direction, with a concurrent need to resolve issues and deliver quality outcomes
