- We offer flexible options to support a healthy work/life balance.

**About us**

The Coroners Court is responsible for:

**About the Coroners Prevention Unit**:
The Coroners Prevention Unit (CPU) is a service established to assist coroners in identifying opportunities to strengthen public health and safety through well-researched, evidence-based recommendations.

It is the only multidisciplinary team of its kind in Australia, comprising specialist staff who work to identify any potential failures and other factors that contributed to the incident.

Coroners can refer matters to the CPU at any point during an investigation. Additionally, the CPU undertakes both individual and collaborative research projects to support coronial investigations, underpinning a better understanding of preventable deaths in Victoria.

**About the role**

Within the CPU, the Mental Health and Disability Case Investigator assists coroners in their investigations into reportable deaths where mental health issues are identified or people with a disability have died whilst in care.

The Mental Health and Disability Case Investigator has responsibility to:

- Review medical, legal and health policy documents to identify the need for further investigation of mental health and/or disability related deaths.
- Prepare written advice to coroners identifying any factors that may have contributed to the death and recommend where improvements can be made to prevent similar deaths from occurring in the future.

**About you**

We are looking for a dynamic and values-driven team player with excellent communication skills and a commitment to public health and safety with:

- Experience in the area of mental health and/or disability.
- Demonstrated experience in research and analysis with the ability to synthesize complex concepts into concise reports.

Exceptional ability to plan and manage in-depth caseloads in a proactive way.

- A cover letter (not exceeding two pages) demonstrating attributes and experience relevant to the role (see the Key Selection criteria in the Position Description).
- Response to the following question (in addition to the two pages above).
- The Coroners Court is an environment that can expose staff to images, case history, testimony and behaviour that can cause stress and/or distress at times._

**Question**:What strategies would you employ to help deal with these potential stressors?
