At Uniting, we’re proud to deliver services that support and empower people across Disability, Mental Health, Child and Family Services, and other community programs. As we grow and adapt to sector change, we’re investing in building sustainable, future-ready workforces that can meet the evolving needs of the people we serve.
We’re now seeking a Strategic Workforce Planning Specialist to support our Communities Directorate.
The Opportunity
Working closely with the Strategic Workforce Planning Lead, you will partner with senior leaders across Communities to design tailored workforce plans that reflect the unique operational and client needs of each stream. This role is both analytical and relational – combining data insights with facilitation and capability-building to help leaders plan their workforce effectively and sustainably.
Through systems thinking, strong relationships, and your ability to translate data into clear insights, you’ll play a vital role in preparing our Communities Directorate for workforce challenges, adapting to policy and funding reforms, and strengthening our ability to deliver services where they’re needed most.
Key Responsibilities
Partner with Communities leaders to develop workforce plans aligned with each service stream’s goals.
Apply workforce planning frameworks to support short-, medium-, and long-term forecasting.
Act as a trusted adviser to senior leaders, HR, Talent Acquisition, and Learning teams.
Translate service model changes (recommissioning, program growth, funding reform) into workforce implications.
Use workforce data and labour market insights to inform planning scenarios and decision-making.
Provide tools, guidance, and reporting dashboards to track trends, risks, and gaps.
Contribute expertise to broader initiatives such as the Volunteer Strategy and workforce pipeline partnerships.
Build leadership capability in workforce planning through coaching and co-design.
Align Communities workforce strategies with Uniting’s broader organisational planning.
About You
You’ll be someone who thrives in collaborative environments, where your focus is on enabling others and influencing outcomes. You’re skilled at balancing analytical rigour with practical application – turning complex data into human-centred workforce plans that support frontline teams.
