The Role:

We’re not just looking for a project officer – we’re looking for someone who sees the potential in people, teams, and workplaces. Someone who gets excited about bringing big ideas to life through practical, well-planned action.

As our new Organisational Development Project Officer, you’ll be part of a small but passionate team that’s helping to build a high-performing, engaged, and future-ready workforce. From rolling out learning programs and engagement initiatives, to refining leadership frameworks, engaging with stakeholders, and supporting culture change, you’ll play a key role in delivering projects that make a genuine difference to how people experience work at Council.

You will also:

Research and support the development of practical tools, guides, and training materials.

Contribute to shaping frameworks that build capability and culture.

Help develop and embed OD programs that connect to Council’s values and strategic direction.

This is a 12-month opportunity for someone who thrives in a people-centred, purpose-driven environment. You don’t need to have all the answers – but you do need curiosity, great coordination skills, and the confidence to get stuck in and get things done.

Experience in organisational development, learning and development, and/or HR (ideally in a project or coordination role).

A collaborative working style – you listen, ask great questions, and work well with people at all levels.

The ability to stay organised, meet deadlines, and juggle a few moving parts at once.

A background in organisational development, organisational psychology, business, HR or a related field, or equivalent experience that makes you a great fit.

Possess and maintain a current motor vehicle drivers licence.
