Your new role:

The Environmental Sustainability Advisor is a fixed term, part-time role until June 2026 (with the possibility of extension).

In particular, this role will support the establishment of a new Environmental Sustainability Framework, identifying, prioritising and implementing environmental sustainability initiatives across the organisation.

This is a largely autonomous role and the individual will be an experienced professional with considerable passion and interest in environmental sustainability. It is also expected the individual will have experience, particularly on initiatives that require engagement, collaboration and capacity building with employees across an organisation.

You will be responsible for:

  • Establishment of an internal Steering Group to provide advice during the establishment phase

  • In collaboration with the Steering Group and key stakeholders, finalise and communicate the Environmental Sustainability Framework, targets and associated commitments
  • In collaboration with the Steering Group and key stakeholders, use the findings from the audit to identify key projects to commence in
  • Make recommendations for the ongoing governance of the portfolio beyond establishment to oversee the operationalising the new framework
  • Seek specialist technical support/advice and undertake research as required on environmental sustainability issues to assist the implementation of the Environmental Sustainability Framework and associated projects.
  • Act as a champion and promote sustainability awareness to develop sustainability capabilities and knowledge sharing across the organisation.
  • Identify measurable sustainability impact and process indicators (or KPIs) and develop a monitoring and reporting structure to support evaluation of performance, identify emerging issues and quality improvement opportunities.
  • Prepare briefing papers and reports for internal stakeholders and the Board of Directors as required.
  • Identify funding opportunities to support priority projects and prepare submissions.
  • Support and build capacity of the Infrastructure team to implement changes to infrastructure that achieve our environmental sustainability goals.
  • In collaboration with the Marketing & Communications team, develop internal and external messaging to engage key stakeholders, promote the links between climate change and health, and build our reputation as an active participant in the fight against climate change
  • Monitor changes in state or national policies.
  • Participate in relevant climate change networks.

What you will need to succeed:

  • Tertiary qualifications in environmental, sustainability, or related discipline with relevant experience, or less formal qualifications with experience.
  • Experience undertaking organisation-wide audits or needs assessment, identifying gaps/priorities, and making recommendations for change.
  • Experience with report writing, and effective written and verbal communication skills.
  • Demonstrated experience in developing and implementing projects of a similar nature within a complex organisation.
  • Ability to identify funding opportunities and write up grant funding applications for environmental sustainability activities.
  • Ability to undertake desktop research on best practice, evidence-based strategies or relevant policies, and translate this to an organisational context.
  • Highly developed interpersonal skills with the ability to develop a rapport with diverse stakeholders.
  • Experience developing impact reporting frameworks or plans to support monitoring and evaluation; for example environmental sustainability performance data on energy usage.
  • Proficiency in MS Office packages.
