Change Communications and Engagement Lead

• Join us as we work to ignite a dynamic world of change for those faced with homelessness
• A vital member of the strategic transformation team
• Be part of a committed team bringing bravery, energy and deep commitment to a values and purpose-driven organisation

 
Who we are:
Haven Home Safe is a homelessness organisation specialising in housing solutions. We are a socially-impactful, commercially-operated NFP. This means we have deep empathy for the communities we are embedded in, always focussed on the people who need us most. The people who urgently need to be safe.
 
Our journey:
Haven Home Safe is transforming with a drive to become a trusted partner of choice because we know that the status quo is the least safe option for the people who need us most. We embrace this change to create the most meaningful impact with new alliances, partnerships and innovative pathways to scale as a regional advocate, a creative thinker delivering on our promise and evolving as we discover new horizons and new challenges as they arise. And the time is now for us to face these challenges with a fresh outlook.
 
Our vision:
We want to be trusted to partner with individuals, communities, businesses and government with the belief that we will ensure everyone in Victoria has a place to call home. Our vision is to create a world where the housing crisis and homelessness are not realities of our time.  Putting our customers at the heart of everything we do, we focus on excellence and bring the people, resources and infrastructure needed to enable us to step into the future we believe is possible.
 
Who we need:
Working alongside the Transformation Lead and Change Lead positions, this position will develop and socialise a change communication and engagement strategy for the transformation projects, including stakeholder messages, engagement approach, activity plans and timelines.  Working across the organisation your primary responsibility will be creating and implementing change management communications that support employee adoption.
You will also work closely with the Communications and Marketing Director to coach senior leaders and executives to help them fulfil their role of change sponsor, while also providing direct support and coaching to employees to help them transition.   This role will also support various project teams in integrating change management activities into their business and project plans.
 
Why we need you:
You will bring extensive experience in communications and change management with capability to establish a change communication approach relevant to the projects and ensuring employees are taken through the change curve to build awareness.  Contributing to team engagement, morale and cohesiveness, your exceptional written communication and presentation skills, combined with highly developed relationship building skills will underpin your success.

You will be located in Melbourne, Bendigo or Geelong with regular travel to all HHS offices.
