About the organisation
Department of People, Sport and Culture (DPSC) is a multi-functional human services and community-focused agency that works to provide responsive, safe and quality services and programs that empower communities and improve social outcomes for Territorians.
Positioned within DPSC, the Library & Archives unit comprehensively collects the documentary heritage of the NT in all its forms, published and unpublished, print and digital, including the NT Government’s archives, as well as providing services to operate and develop the NT’s public library network.
About the Role
As the Senior Director, you provide strategic and operational leadership to facilitate the delivery of community focussed, quality library and archives services to operate and develop the Territory’s public library network.
Your key duties involve delivering concise, up-to-date information, high level subject matter expertise, advice and recommendations concerning library and archives services to the CEO, senior executives and the Minister as required. Overseeing three locations you will provide strong, effective leadership and management, building a culture of ethical conduct, innovation, professional growth and continuous improvements.
About You
To be successful, you require extensive knowledge and experience in a leadership role within an environment delivering high-quality library and archives services, a sound understanding of organisational and business management practices, and advanced communication and interpersonal skills. The capacity to successfully interpret and manage the social, political and organisational environment to achieve effective outcomes is essential.
Relocating
If you reside outside the Territory, this is a great time to consider relocating. Reward yourself with an enviable lifestyle and a work life balance that allows you time to explore stunning landscapes and waterfalls of the National Parks, enjoy colourful tropical sunsets and spectacular lightning displays, and experience Darwin’s rich multicultural society. Assistance with relocation expenses will be available if required.
