• Support delivery of early-intervention services and critical incident support for members.

• Produce clear, actionable recommendations and implementation plans for senior leaders and key stakeholders.

This role blends early intervention support, education, change management, workplace safety, and stakeholder engagement.

Essential Requirements:

• Tertiary qualification in organisational psychology, psychology, counselling, WHS, or a related discipline (postgraduate qualifications and/or relevant certifications desirable).

• Minimum 2 years’ experience developing and embedding psychosocial risk mitigation strategies.

• Local government and/or public sector experience highly regarded.

• Strong stakeholder engagement, facilitation, and training capability; confident briefing leaders and partnering with operational and executive teams.

• Valid Australian driver’s license and willingness to travel within Western Australia.

• Current National Police Check (or willingness to obtain) and any sector-specific clearances required.

Why join Marsh:

• We help you be your best through professional development opportunities, interesting work and supportive leaders.

• We foster a vibrant and inclusive culture where you can work with talented colleagues to create new solutions and have impact for colleagues, clients and communities.
