An exciting opportunity exists to join the Corporate Services Division in the Assessment Applications Unit for a 2-year fixed term position. The purpose of this role is to provide expert analysis, programming and leadership of software changes to a suite of VCAA custom built applications that are used to run assessments in Victoria, including VCE, VET, VPC and NAPLAN.
