The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is now recruiting 2,665 Census Field Managers for the 2021 Census.
Field Managers are a critical workforce that will help communities across Australia to successfully complete the Census.
The roles are short-term and available in all major cities and regional areas nationwide. The working hours are variable and will include weekdays, weekends and evenings.
Field Managers will be recruited locally to ensure they are familiar with the local area, where it is possible to do so.
Each Field Manager has responsibility for training, leading and managing a team of up to 12 Field Officers in their local area.
Andrew Henderson, Census Executive Director and National Spokesperson said, "Field Managers play a key role in supporting and motivating their team and resolving problems that arise on the job.
"The Field Manager is the eyes and ears of the Census on the ground, and in the community. They provide invaluable local intelligence to the office-based Census operations team.
"They help members of the public who need special support to complete the Census. This includes conducting assisted interviews with people who request help or working through difficult questions from people trying to complete their Census.
"Field Managers will engage with non-private dwellings in their area, such as hospitals, hotels, and nursing homes to help residents in these settings to complete their Census form.
"If you have experience training and supervising small teams and you're keen to tell your community's story, view the applicant information kit and apply now," Mr Henderson said.
The ABS has appointed Adecco Australia to assist with the recruitment of temporary staff to support the 2021 Census.
Applicants are encouraged to apply early as jobs are expected to fill quickly.
