About the Role: EL1 Records Management Officer Location: Sydney, Adelaide, or Canberra Start Date: ASAP
Contract Length: 6 months + 6-month extension Pay: Competitive EL1 Hourly Rates + Super Engagement Type: Contract
Focus: Establishing the foundational information architecture for the client. About the Role: As the CDC transitions into a standalone agency, we are seeking a sophisticated information management specialist to lead the evolution of our records capability.
This role is not merely about storage; it is about building the evidentiary backbone of a national health authority. You will bridge the gap between legislative compliance (Archives Act 1983) and the high-stakes operational needs of an agency tasked with tracking emerging health risks and providing early-action advice. You will drive the transition from \"Machinery of Government\" (MoG) establishment to a sustainable Business-As-Usual (BAU) framework, ensuring that Australia's health data and intelligence are preserved with integrity and precision.
Key Responsibilities: Agency Establishment: Lead the end-to-end design and implementation of records, information, and data management capabilities for the newly formed agency. Legislative Stewardship: Ensure all frameworks strictly adhere to the Archives Act 1983, National Archives of Australia (NAA) standards, and broader Commonwealth governance requirements.
Asset Mapping: Identify, document, and classify complex information assets, ensuring they are aligned with both public health necessity and legal obligations. Policy Architecture: Draft and implement the Agency's suite of SOPs, records management policies, and governance frameworks from the ground up. Systems Coordination: Manage the technical deployment of Content Manager (TRIM/CM10), including functionality auditing and the delivery of agency-wide training.
MoG Transition: Navigate post-Machinery of Government activities, resolving legacy data issues and establishing new agency protocols for the NAA. Capability Uplift: Act as a specialist advisor to Integrity & Governance stakeholders, fostering a culture of information security and recordkeeping excellence. Key Capabilities:
Deep knowledge of Commonwealth recordkeeping legislation and the ability to apply it within a fast-paced, emerging agency context. Proven ability to translate technical legislative requirements into user-friendly SOPs and operational roadmaps. Capacity to guide staff through the cultural shift of agency establishment, delivering clear communications and training to non-specialists.
Advanced expertise in Content Manager (TRIM) and the ability to coordinate shared services to meet specific agency needs. Strength in building partnerships across government to enable seamless information sharing and data integrity. Qualifications & Eligibility:
Degree in Information Management, Data Governance, Library Science, or a related discipline. Extensive background in Commonwealth records management and NAA compliance. Ability to obtain and maintain a Baseline or NV1 security clearance is essential.
Motivated by the opportunity to build a records system that supports national disease surveillance and public health expertise. Benefits of Contracting with Randstad: Access to benefits platforms with discounts at major retailers
