About You
You have a strong understanding of how government works, including parliamentary and Cabinet processes, and experience supporting ministerial offices. You are confident preparing high-quality written material such as briefing notes, correspondence and parliamentary documentation, and you take pride in producing work that is clear, accurate and well considered. With excellent attention to detail, you are comfortable reviewing and refining complex information and turning it into concise advice for senior leaders.
