The role may require working up to five days per week on site in a government organization office environment, engaging directly with client teams, users and formal governance structures.

Integrity - Always do the right thing

• You will ensure learning materials are accurate, current, practical and aligned to approved process, system and role design decisions.

• You will raise risks early where training content, learner readiness, user confidence, material quality or delivery timelines may affect adoption.

• You will ensure learner feedback, training issues and content gaps are captured clearly and escalated appropriately.

• You will support evidence-based reporting by maintaining accurate inputs on training completion, learner confidence, feedback themes and material readiness.

• You will handle program information, stakeholder feedback and training materials responsibly and in line with confidentiality expectations. 

Create opportunity for our people to excel
