Senior Psychosocial Risk & Wellbeing Manager

A leading and highly respected Australian institution is seeking an experienced Senior (Psychosocial) Health & Wellbeing Manager to play a pivotal role in shaping and embedding a contemporary psychosocial risk management and psychological health strategy across a complex, large scale environment.

This is a unique opportunity for a senior practitioner who combines strategic thinking with practical execution and is passionate about creating psychologically safe, healthy and high performing workplaces.

The Opportunity
Reporting to the Head of Health & Wellbeing, this position will lead the implementation and ongoing evolution of an enterprise Health & Wellbeing Framework, with an immediate focus on psychosocial risk management, psychological health and psychological injury prevention.
Significant foundational work has already been completed, including frameworks, tools, risk assessment methodologies and supporting resources. The challenge now is to bring these components together into a cohesive operating model, drive organisation wide adoption and deliver measurable outcomes.
This is not a traditional wellbeing role. It is a strategic leadership opportunity focused on embedding mature psychosocial risk practices across a large and complex organisation.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead implementation and continuous improvement of the Health & Wellbeing Framework.
• Drive a proactive psychosocial risk management program across the organisation.
• Develop consistent approaches to triage, risk assessment, controls and case management.
• Analyse organisational data to identify trends, emerging risks and intervention opportunities.
• Influence and partner with senior leaders and specialist functions to deliver coordinated responses to complex psychosocial matters.
• Strengthen organisational capability through coaching, education and stakeholder engagement.
• Provide expert advice on psychological health, psychosocial risk and injury prevention.
• Support the development of governance, reporting and assurance processes that drive accountability and continuous improvement.

About You
We are interested in experienced professionals who have successfully led organisational change and implemented psychosocial risk, wellbeing or psychological health frameworks within complex environments.
You will bring:

• Deep expertise in psychosocial risk management, workplace psychological health or organisational wellbeing.
• Demonstrated success implementing strategic programs across large, multi stakeholder organisations.
• Strong influencing and relationship building capability.
• The ability to navigate complexity, ambiguity and competing priorities.
• A pragmatic and outcomes focused approach that balances strategy with execution.
• Experience using data and insights to shape interventions and measure impact.

While qualifications in Organisational Psychology, Occupational Health, Health & Safety or a related discipline would be highly regarded, demonstrated experience and achievement in delivering similar outcomes will be most important.
Candidates from corporate, government, healthcare, infrastructure, education, professional services or other complex environments are encouraged to apply.

Why This Role?
This is an opportunity to join a collaborative and high performing team where strong stakeholder relationships already exist and there is genuine executive commitment to improving psychosocial health outcomes.
You will have the opportunity to:

• Influence organisation wide strategy and culture.
• Lead a critical and highly visible agenda.
• Partner with senior leaders across a diverse and complex environment.
• Build sustainable systems that improve psychological health and wellbeing outcomes at scale.
• Make a meaningful contribution to the health, safety and wellbeing of thousands of people.

Package & Flexibility

• Hybrid working model
• Sydney based
• Exceptional opportunity to shape and influence a growing psychosocial risk and wellbeing function
