We are seeking an engaged and highly motivated Senior Project Officer to support the delivery of a teaching and learning project within the Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences to create a digital repository of strengths-based images and case studies for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learning in health contexts.
As the Senior Project Officer, you will coordinate and support a wide range of tasks to achieve project outcomes, including organising resource-creation and stakeholder engagement activities, and the development of documents and resources. You will join a small-sized, high-performing team in an environment with opportunities for professional development and growth. This is an ideal role for those capable of delivering outcomes within a multi-dimensional, fast-paced and sometimes challenging operational environment.
The University of Queensland considers that being Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander is a genuine occupational requirement for this position under s25 of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (Qld) and the filling of this position constitutes a special/equal opportunity measure under section 8(1) of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth).
The position is therefore only open to Australian Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people. The successful candidate will be required to provide evidence to confirm that they are an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person.
Our ideal candidate will possess excellent interpersonal and written communication skills and will be able to manage projects and interact with Indigenous and non-Indigenous stakeholders in a culturally safe and competent manner.
