About the role

We have a great fixed-term opportunity to join our Democracy team as a Business Integrity Administrator covering a 12-month period of parental leave.

The role coordinates responses to official information requests under the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act (LGOIMA), working across the organisation with staff to understand their obligations and ensure compliance with requirements.

The assurance portfolio, led by the Team Leader, covers all of the Risk Management processes, including preparation and support to the Risk and Audit Committee, Internal Audit, Business Continuity as well as Insurance placement for the organisation and administration of the Councils Delegations Register.

­About you

This role requires strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with others to achieve best results.

Some knowledge of Local Government Act and/or the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act would be beneficial but it's more important you come with the ability to pick up and understand these pieces of legislation.

• Ability to use your initiative to solve problems as they arise
• Experience working effectively with stakeholders and staff across the organisation
• Well-developed time management and organisational skills
