We recognise that healthy and happy workers mean better outcomes for the vulnerable children we work with each day.  Your creativity, empathy and passion will help us develop initiatives to prevent injury and illness and promote workplace wellbeing.

Save the Children is no ordinary not-for-profit. 

We’re ambitious, creative and outspoken.  We stand up for children’s rights.  We want all children to be educated, healthy and live a life free from violence.  We run programs in Australia and overseas and, if there’s a disaster - like an earthquake, drought or conflict – we are there on the ground.

Where you come in:

In this part-time permanent (3 days per week) position, based in Carlton, you will collaborate with the Safety & Security Manager to build and support a positive wellbeing culture.  You will proactively manage and mitigate organisational risk through effective return to work (RTW) and case management whilst also creating and implementing Injury, Illness and Wellbeing initiatives.  You will be part of the Risk Support Team and report to the Head of Risk Support.

You will make an impact by:

• Effectively case managing all Workers Compensation and Injury Management activities nationally
• Providing effective management of RTW plans

• Developing and tailoring initiatives that support a positive wellbeing culture
• Proactively managing all stakeholders to ensure effective collaboration achieves successful and timely results
• Developing, implementing and monitoring relevant policies and procedures
• Coaching and supporting people managers in processes regarding injury/illness and return to work management

If we could compose the perfect you…

…you will have an empathic and people-centric approach that enables calmness in highly emotive scenarios.  This calmness coupled with strong influencing skills see you both manage conflict and negotiate beneficial outcomes for all stakeholders.  Short time-frames are often, and you will call on your organisation, administration and analysis skills to meet deadlines. Working collaboratively with the team, you are flexibly to provide ranging support to achieve success.

This role requires:

• Demonstrated RTW and Case Management experience

• Demonstrated experience in managing injury and illness claims, including complex claims
• Understanding of, and ability to apply relevant legislation nationally
• Relevant tertiary qualifications and / or relevant work experience
• Broad scope of experience across a variety of case scenarios including mental health, emotional resilience, physical health & injury and safety

Working at Save the Children is more than just a job.

It’s the feeling of knowing that your work is contributing to making the world a better place for children and working with others who feel the same. In addition to a connection to social causes, you will have access to:

• Friendly and flexible working environment
• Agile work environment including working from home options
• Pet friendly work environment
• Child friendly work environment
• Full salary sacrificing benefits
• Additional annual leave options
