Senior Injury Prevention Consultant

Senior Injury Prevention Consultant (permanent position)

East Perth, Western Australia (Hybrid)

Here at the Department of Local Government, Industry Regulation and Safety (LGIRS), our vision is to support a safe, fair and resilient economy where Western Australian industries, workers, consumers and communities thrive.

We believe that bringing our capabilities together offers an exciting opportunity to enhance our regulatory approach through collaborative reform, integrity, transparency and fairness – with the community always at the centre of what we do.

We value diversity and appreciate every individual’s perspective, bringing together a diverse and inclusive workforce to drive innovation and success. We are committed to creating and maintaining a diverse workforce that reflects the community we serve, and an inclusive culture where all employees feel valued, respected and connected.

The Role

Our People and Culture Directorate leads the development and delivery of people-related services and initiatives, driving enhancements to organisational culture and employee wellbeing.

• Overseeing the department’s psychosocial risk and general safety risk management risk framework including the potentially traumatic event response and Employee Wellbeing Strategy.
• Ensuring that the Employee Assistant Program (EAP) meets our requirements.
• Developing and delivering presentations and information to a wide variety of stakeholders.

Consideration of this, along with individual coping strategies (to supplement support strategies provided by the department), is required.
