The Role
The Australian Defence Force offers more than 150 different jobs, some of which are considered particularly complex and/or high risk from a psychological standpoint, including roles in Aviation, Intelligence, Cyber Warfare, Submarine Warfare, and Special Forces. Applicants for these complex roles undergo targeted psychological assessments as part of their selection process.
This position is responsible for the management of incoming data arising from psychological testing and mental health screening activities. Responsibilities include manual data entry, scanning, validation, receipting, and the quality assurance of these materials.
The incumbent will utilise their strong computer literacy and organisational skills to manage data, respond to stakeholder inquiries, draft documentation, and provide support to the Data Management team and the broader Directorate. This position will contribute to the development and delivery of data products that adhere to quality systems, procedures, standards and legislative requirements. The incumbent will build effective relationships with the Directorate of Psychology, and other teams to provide support and contribute to achieving data-related objectives.
About our Team
The Data Management Systems team develops and maintains a range of ICT systems and applications designed to facilitate the collection and management of psychology-related data arising from Occupational Suitability Assessments (OSA) and Mental Health Surveillance activities.
