Senior Governance and HR Officer

Looking for a role where you can mix governance with hands-on HR work – from the comfort of your home? This could be the move for you.

We are searching for a Senior Governance and HR Officer to join our team. It is a great opportunity for a Governance Officer ready to step up and broaden their experience into HR as well as broaden their governance experience.

What you’ll be doing

  • Supporting governance functions (policies, reports, compliance, delegations, registers)
  • Working closely with leadership on governance and risk matters
  • Running recruitment processes
  • Supporting staff across their entire employee journey
  • Helping improve systems, processes and how we do things

What we’re looking for

  • Experience in governance in local government (HR is desirable but not essential)
  • Strong communication and writing skills
  • Someone who is organised, proactive and great with people
  • A trusted, professional approach with good judgement

This role is ideally based at the Shire of Kent office; however, remote working arrangements and flexible hours will be considered for the right candidate.

This is a Level 7 role under the Local Government Officers’ (Western Australia) Award 2021, with a rate of pay ranging between $74,915 to $78,294 per annum excluding superannuation.

If this sounds like you, submit your resume and your statement addressing the Work Related Requirements (found in the PD) to us at admin@kent.wa.gov.au.

The recruitment process is open ended with no closing date. The Shire reserves the right to accept applicants at any time, so don’t hesitate – apply now!
