Our Department Values
Our values set the direction for what it means to work in our department.

They inform the standard and expectations of behaviours, skills and capabilities and the attributes we currently have, will continually work to achieve and develop, and that we use to acknowledge and attract, retain and recruit into our department.

The opportunity we have available:

Based in Orange, the Regional Programs Branch of the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts offers a unique opportunity to combine a regional lifestyle with the benefits of a career with the Australian Public Service (APS).

The Regional Programs Branch is part of the Regional Development and Local Government Division within the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts.

The Branch delivers grant programs to regional economies via local councils, non-profits and other non-government entities - supporting small community organisations to investing in transformative infrastructure projects.

Are you driven by quality outcomes? Do you have strong problem solving and analytical skills, and the ability to respond in a positive and flexible manner to change?

Our Legacy Programs Section is seeking agile, self-motivated, and results-driven people to help deliver key programs and provide support that will be critical to the programs' success.

This section is responsible for moderately complex grant management and stakeholder engagement with grantees for in-house and grants-hub-delivered programs.

Work with other team leaders to manage governance, quality assurance and records management activities across the Branch
Develop and maintain program plans and strategies
Draft briefings and ministerial correspondence
Contribute to program implementation and governance, delivery of grants, including risk assessment and risk management activities
High quality reporting on program funding, program outputs, program objectives, and individual projects, for senior executives.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for a strong leader and manager, with program or grant management expertise or similar transferrable skills, who thrives working in a fast-paced, high-pressure small team environment.

To be successful in this role, you will have:

Commitment to collaboration and positive engagement with multiple stakeholders
Experience in leading and managing a team, using initiative and judgement to achieve outcomes
Excellent stakeholder engagement skills including the ability to negotiate successful outcomes
Excellent written and oral communication skills and the ability to construct a clear argument or direction
Attention to detail and accuracy ensuring your team deliver high quality work
