Who we are

Launch Housing has an ambitious agenda to achieve our vision of ending homelessness, providing a strong focused voice on homelessness driven by the values of Empowerment, Fresh Thinking, Agility, Leadership and Courage.

We are an independent provider of choice for clients and the ‘go to' organisation on homelessness for government, media, philanthropy, private donors and the community. Clients are at the centre of everything we do and are actively and meaningfully involved in the design, delivery and evaluation of services as well as our policy development, public advocacy and fundraising.

What you'll do

Reporting to the Chief Impact Officer, the Organisational Psychologist will play a crucial role in developing and implementing employee health and well-being and occupational safety programs across all teams and sites to support front-line teams who regularly experience or are exposed to occupational violence and direct and indirect trauma through their work.

This is a new role working alongside the people and culture team to build our employee wellbeing and psychological safety, and support our people, including those with lived experience, to thrive in their careers. The successful person will also work alongside the broader Launch Housing leadership team and OHS team to ensure that our internal systems and processes align with our approach, and that our learning and development builds this way of thinking into all aspects of our work.

Success in this role will help build a workforce that feels supported and cared for, a systematic approach to understanding and responding to occupational violence and trauma, and being a workplace where people with lived experience can flourish and feel valued.
