We invest in our people

At TAFE NSW, you will discover a diverse, dynamic, and collaborative environment, where you can innovate, create value, and do meaningful work. We provide you with tools, ongoing training and professional development, health and wellbeing programs, and a 35-hour working week with a variety of flexible working options.

About the role

This is a dynamic, customer-focused role where no two days are the same. You will be the first point of contact for a wide range of staff enquiries, providing clear guidance and practical support to help people navigate systems and processes with confidence. You will troubleshoot issues, resolve requests where possible, and know when to escalate, ensuring a smooth and positive experience for every user. A key part of the role is maintaining accurate records, documenting step-by-step guides, and keeping information up to date so that knowledge can be easily shared across the team.

Working within a small, supportive team, you’ll benefit from structured onboarding and ongoing training to build your knowledge. You’ll also contribute to improving how things are done by identifying opportunities to streamline processes and enhance service delivery. This role requires strong prioritisation skills, as you’ll manage multiple requests and work to deadlines while maintaining high standards. You’ll also be involved in testing updates and supporting changes to systems and processes, helping ensure everything runs smoothly for the broader organisation.

About you 

You are a highly organised and customer-focused professional who genuinely enjoys helping others. You communicate clearly and confidently, adapting your approach to suit different audiences and ensuring people feel supported and understood. You bring a strong attention to detail and take pride in producing accurate work, particularly when documenting processes or managing information. You’re naturally curious, enjoy problem-solving, and are confident working through issues to find practical solutions.

You thrive in a varied environment and are comfortable managing competing priorities, knowing how to seek answers when needed. You’re proactive, take initiative to improve processes, and are motivated to learn and build your skills over time. While you don’t need a technical background, you are open to developing your understanding of systems and processes. Experience with platforms such as PageUp, People@TAFE, or ServiceNow, as well as familiarity with recruitment processes, will be highly regarded.
