Workforce Diversity and Inclusion Lead

Beyond Blue

Beyond Blue’s vision is that all people in Australia achieve their best possible mental health. Our mission is to work with the community to improve mental health and prevent suicide.

We aim to achieve this by:

  • Promoting mental health and wellbeing.
  • Being a trusted source of information, advice and support.
  • Working together to prevent suicide.

Beyond Blue’s values are Collaboration, Respect, Enthusiasm, Excellence, Innovation and Integrity.

Reporting to the Head of People and Culture, our Workforce Diversity and Inclusion Lead will create innovative, future-focussed, diverse and inclusive people solutions at Beyond Blue to maximise individual, team and organisational potential.

You will have custodianship for developing Beyond Blue’s Workforce Diversity and Inclusion Strategy. A human centred design approach will be adopted to determine and structure the appropriate responses for capability development, in line with the organisation's future workforce requirements, whilst engaging employees to deliver on organisational strategy and deliver community value.

You will have accountability for developing and integrating diverse and inclusive people initiatives across Beyond Blue and generating valuable workforce insights and analytics to guide senior stakeholders including the Executive to inform strategic people priorities, improve productivity and enhance the employee experience. You will deliver sustainable change and value through a deep understanding of the people levers to drive change both strategically and operationally.

Ideally you will be tertiary qualified with a bachelor’s degree or post graduate qualifications in Business, Human Resources Management, Leadership or Diversity and Inclusion, or other relevant discipline.

You will have a track record managing Diversity and Inclusion in complex organisations with multiple stakeholders. A solid ability to analyse the market, scan emerging research and best practise, identify opportunities and develop insights to facilitate Diversity and Inclusion is mandatory. This will be underpinned by a capability to create and lead strategic organisational development initiatives including but not limited to leadership, talent, organisational capability, culture, performance planning and management, inclusion & diversity and change and transformation.

Experience developing workforce strategies aligned with Reconciliation Australia’s Reconciliation Action Plan framework and an understanding of the complex nature of intersectionality as it relates to First Nations people and their unique position within Diversity and Inclusion practice is required.

This is a terrific opportunity to work within an organisation that is in a growth phase and be part of shaping the future outcomes for the community.
