• contribute to change strategies and continual improvement initiatives across Interventions and Innovation
• report on training and capability activities to support business planning
• ensure confidentiality, ethical practice, privacy, social justice and work health and safety requirements are maintained in the delivery of training and development activities

ESU is a skilled and highly agile multi-disciplinary team. You will enjoy engaging in ongoing professional development within an emerging space, actively contributing to the continued development of the training analyst role and communications approach within the Engagement and Support Unit.

What we’re looking for

In addition to the essential requirements outlined in the role description, we are looking for a motivated education or training professional with demonstrated experience developing and delivering effective learning content and resources.

You will be an analytical and curious communicator who can translate complex or sensitive information into clear, engaging and evidence-based material.

You will also bring:

• strong stakeholder engagement and relationship-building skills
• experience creating and managing multimodal learning content
• the ability to work independently and manage competing priorities and short lead times
• a proactive, practical and solutions-focused approach
• sound judgement when working with sensitive subject matter
• a commitment to professional development and continuous improvement
