Hi team
As discussed with s 47F(1) this morning, grateful if you could circulate the below EOI email for my
role to the EL1 and APS6 distribution lists – ideally, we would like to see this go out this
afternoon or tomorrow morning at the latest. Grateful if we could also include a link/reference
to the EOI as part of this week’s Job Opportunities email. Also, to confirm (as reflected in the
below), Cam is comfortable receiving EOI emails attaching applicants’ CVs himself, so no need for
the online application system.
Please let me know if you have any questions or would like further info – happy to chat.
Cheers
s 47

Cam – draft EOI for your consideration. Specific details I’d be grateful for you to turn your mind
to:
do you want to put a timeframe on the opportunity?
do you want CVs sent to you (SES Unit has advised they can arrange for applications to go
through the department’s eRecruit system, though think asking for an email is one less
hurdle for people to overcome if we’re wanting an EOI pool to draw from for other
ExecOfficer roles across the offices)?
I’ve flagged with SES Unit and they’ve confirmed if we can get to them by lunchtime then this
email can go out today, and can then be included in this week’s Job Opps email on Thursday.
Happy to chat.
