Housing—manager turnover
(Question No 1271)
Mrs Burke asked the Minister for Disability, Housing and Community Services, upon notice:
(1) What is the reason for the large turnover of housing managers within A.C.T. Housing, excluding those managers that are moved after six months in an area to avoid burn out;
(2) What is the process for recruiting housing managers and what criteria are used for recruitment.
Mr Wood: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Housing Managers move positions for a wide range of reasons including promotion, extended leave, illness, higher duties, temporary incapacity and for developmental reasons. There are occasions where staff are rotated to fill gaps caused by any of the above reasons and often temporary staff are employed to fill positions pending permanent recruitment.
Housing ACT does not have a policy or practice of moving staff after 6 months to avoid burn out. While it is accepted that aspects of the Housing Manager role can be challenging, the Department continues to monitor work levels and responsibilities against Public Service work standards.
(2) Housing Managers are ASO Grade 4 Officers in the ACT Public Service and are recruited using the merit selection processes that apply to all ACT Government employees.
I have attached the selection criteria for the Housing Manager position.
