Western Plains Correctional Centre (Western Plains) is Victoria's newest maximum-security correctional facility, designed to house up to 1,248 people in custody.

Western Plains is a multi-purpose facility that adapts to the evolving needs of Corrections Victoria. It features purpose-built modern amenities including medical wards, a cultural centre and vocational training facilities. It utilises cutting-edge technology to keep the facility secure, allowing staff to focus on supporting the rehabilitation of people in custody.

Western Plains will open mid-2025 and Corrections Victoria are now recruiting key roles to help shape the future operations of the facility.

**About the role**

As the Workforce Engagement Support Officer, you will respond directly to general staff enquiries in an efficient manner to deliver timely and accurate administrative support to managers and employees. This includes handling telephone calls from staffing groups advising of shift changes and general HR related enquiries. You will triage queries to specialist staff areas within Western Plains and the Workforce Services team.

You will operate on a 24-hour roster and therefore will be required to work flexible hours including nights, weekends and public holidays and will be provided appropriate remuneration. As the role is customer-facing within the facility, you will be required to work on-site.

**About you**

A tertiary qualification is desirable but not required.
