Change and Project Manager

Make a meaningful difference with us  
 

We’re looking for someone who wants to make the world a little better through small moments that leave big impacts. To build meaningful relationships and make a difference in the lives of others. 

This isn't a business-as-usual change role. We're seeking an experienced Change & Project Manager to join one of the most significant workforce programs currently underway at UnitingCare. Working within our People & Culture team.

As a senior member of the team, you'll play a pivotal role in driving organisation-wide change that will directly support our people, leaders and future workforce capability. You'll partner with our Senior Leadership Team across the organisation, influence strategic decision-making, and help shape how change is delivered in one of Queensland's largest and most respected not-for-profit organisations.

This is a unique opportunity for a seasoned change professional who thrives in complex environments, enjoys working at pace and wants to deliver meaningful outcomes that will have a lasting impact long after the project is complete.

Please note this is a full-time, fixed-term contract for 6 months. Flexibility is important to us, and we know it is to you, too - this role supports hybrid working by agreement.  
 

Your part in our UnitingCare team:  

• Developing and delivering end-to-end change management strategies and plans.

• Conducting change impact and readiness assessments to support successful implementation.

• Partnering with executives, leaders and key stakeholders to drive engagement, understanding and adoption.

• Designing communication and engagement strategies that build trust and confidence throughout the change journey.

• Developing learning and capability initiatives that support leaders and teams through change.

• Providing insights, reporting and recommendations to program leadership to maximise project success.
   

What makes a difference for us? 

• Formal change management certification such as Prosci, ADKAR, APMG or equivalent.

• Proven experience leading change across large-scale transformation or complex organisational programs.

• Exceptional stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence and partner with senior leaders

• Strong communication and facilitation capability, with experience delivering workshops, training and change interventions.

• The ability to quickly understand complex environments, build credibility and deliver outcomes. (Hiring-focused enhancement based on the contract nature of the role.)

Highly regarded

• Experience supporting workforce, payroll, enterprise agreement, industrial relations or compliance-related programs.

• Experience within health, community services, aged care or not-for-profit organisations.

• Qualifications in Human Resources, Organisational Development, Psychology, Business, Communications or a related discipline.
