Risk and Governance Manager

Risk and Governance Manager

Risk and Governance Manager
Anglican Diocese of Perth
  
Perth CBD | Full-Time | Values-Based Organisation
  
Public Sector People are partnering with the Anglican Diocese of Perth to appoint a Risk & Governance Manager to support and strengthen risk, governance, WHS and insurance oversight across the Diocese.
  
This is a pivotal, hands-on role within a respected faith-based organisation operating across parishes, clergy and affiliated entities throughout Western Australia.
  
The Organisation
  
The Anglican Diocese of Perth supports a diverse network of parishes and church communities. Governance is delivered through Diocesan Council (DC), Perth Diocesan Trustees (PDT) and a committee structure that reflects the Diocese’s long-standing traditions and volunteer-based governance model.
  
This is a collaborative and considered environment, where change is measured and stakeholder engagement is key.
  
About the Role
  
Reporting to the Diocesan Secretary and Executive Officer, the Risk & Governance Manager will play a central role in:

• Maintaining and strengthening the Risk Management Framework
• Supporting and monitoring WHS systems and reporting
• Overseeing the Diocese’s insurance program in partnership with external brokers
• Preparing and presenting risk and WHS reporting to DC and PDT
• Supporting governance processes, policy development and committee cycles
• Acting as Privacy Officer and Whistleblower Officer

Well-established systems are already in place. The successful candidate will take the time to understand existing frameworks, build strong internal relationships, and introduce improvements in a measured and consultative way.
This role is less about large-scale transformation and more about steady stewardship, influence and delivery.
  
About You
  
We are seeking a governance professional who is: 

• Experienced across risk, governance, WHS and insurance oversight
• Comfortable preparing and presenting reports to Boards or governance committees
• A hands-on operator who enjoys facilitating, coordinating and delivering outcomes
• Detail-oriented and confident working with legislative and compliance frameworks
• Skilled at engaging diverse stakeholders, including clergy, parishes and volunteers
• Collaborative, measured and politically astute

This role will suit someone who may currently be operating as a Senior Advisor or Officer and is ready to step into broader responsibility. It is not a role for someone seeking to impose rapid change - patience, diplomacy and relationship-building are essential.
  
An understanding of, or comfort working within, a values-based organisation with a diversity of views will be important.
  
Working Environment
  
The Diocese is predominantly office-based in Perth CBD, with flexibility available where appropriate. The role is full-time, with standard business hours and minimal after-hours requirements.
  
Remuneration is anticipated to be in the range of $130,000 – $140,000 + 12% superannuation.
  
Why Join the Diocese?

• Strategic, organisation-wide exposure
• Direct access to senior leadership
• Opportunity to build influence and grow into a broader advisory capacity
• Stable and respectful working environment
• Meaningful work within a mission-led organisation
