**Who we are**
People Division, led by the Chief People Officer (CPO), provides human resources (HR) functions for the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (the department) with a clear focus on the department’s most valued asset: its staff. Alongside contemporary HR functions, projects and strategies People Division is also responsible for:
- Enhancing the department’s focus on safety.
- Enterprise bargaining.
- Cultural and change management.
- The department’s response to Australian Public Service (APS) reforms.
The department is committed to fostering a diverse and flexible workplace that values differences, supports inclusiveness and encourages all employees regardless of gender, cultural background, disability, sexual orientation, or caring responsibilities, to achieve their potential. The Work Health and Safety and Wellbeing (WHS) function operates under a ‘Hub and Spoke’ model - recognising the critical and interdependent nature of each team within the function to achieving successful health, safety, and wellbeing solutions, keeping our people safe, and ensuring that safety is at the heart of all we do. The department’s WHS Section (the hub) partners with the business to understand our unique and diverse health, safety and wellbeing needs to design, implement, and support a purpose built WHS Management System and WHS Information System that places our people at the heart of everything we do and enables a positive health and safety culture. The WHS AAD & PAD Section (the spoke) is for the consistent implementation of WHS systems, strategy, and standards across the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) and Parks Australia Division (PAD).

- Managing and overseeing a team of WHS Advisors and professionals, providing coaching, mentoring and advice to achieve departmental and team goals.

- Undertaking WHS risk profiling activities and partnering with the business to ensure all risks have controls and mitigation plans in place.
- Leading the process of implementing policies, procedures, frameworks and other guidance, contextualising these so they are relevant and applicable to the operational context in which they are being implemented.
- Supporting national initiatives.
You will play a critical role in contributing to Parks Australia’s purpose to protect, conserve and enhance the values of Commonwealth parks and gardens for the use and wellbeing of all Australians. You will work closely with local management on WHS matters. For success in this role, you will have experience working with Indigenous Australians.

- Experience working in remote and isolated locations.
**Skills and capabilities**
You will have the ability to:
- Function autonomously, working in collaboration with other Assistant Directors/WHS Managers to deliver quality outcomes.
- Lead a team of diverse skillsets and backgrounds, coach, and mentor employees, undertake performance management, conflict resolution, and identification of training needs.
- Manage teams and timelines effectively to meet objectives and goals.
- Communicate efficiently and effectively about WHS risks, frameworks, policies, and procedures to employees of diverse skillsets, language and cultural backgrounds.
- Manage stakeholders and build and maintain effective workplace relationships.
