ABOUT THE ROLES

Assistant Employment Screening Officers and Employment Screening Officers form part of a team led by the Senior Employment Screening Officer in undertaking Employment Screening of prospective employees, contractors and volunteers as well as the re-screening of current employees.

Assistant Employment Screening Officers (L2) have a range of responsibilities in processing employment screens being undertaken. Records Management is an important component of the role. The position involves operating a number of online systems that support the obtaining of information required for Employment Screening. This includes criminal history checks, integrity declarations and online information management systems. The role requires the position holder to communicate with applicants and service providers by telephone and in written communications.

Employment Screening Officers (L3) are also involved in processing employment screens being undertaken. The position holder assesses information received from applicants and other information sources, determining whether the applicant meets the required integrity standards for employment or engagement with the Department, or whether the application needs to be referred to a senior officer for further review. The role requires the position holder to make cogent decisions.

The Employment Screening Unit handles a high volume of work. Familiarity with a range of online systems, strong team skills, a strong customer service “can do” attitude and a liking for working in an environment where the work being undertaken forms part of a process that is repeated for each Employment Screening application processed will make you a strong candidate for these roles.
