Workplace Conduct & Investigations Specialist

Workplace Conduct & Investigations Specialist - Full-Time/Perth CBD Office

Do you take pride in delivering fair, thorough, and trauma-informed workplace investigations and disciplinary processes? Are you someone who values integrity, brings a pragmatic lens, and ensures people feel heard and respected?

We’re building a new team and are looking for a Case Management Specialist with strong technical expertise, exceptional emotional intelligence, and a commitment to creating safer, more respectful workplaces.

In this role, you’ll manage end-to-end workplace conduct matters, including grievance enquiries, disciplinary processes, performance-related issues, and investigations into alleged misconduct. You’ll approach each case with empathy, diligence, and a focus on procedural fairness, ensuring outcomes are defensible, balanced, and grounded in best practice.

You stay across the latest case law and legislative changes, and you know the details matter. For you, technical expertise isn’t optional – it’s what ensures processes are fair, defensible, and effective.

Your Role in Action

• Lead fair and empathetic investigations – Conduct end-to-end workplace investigations, including interviews, evidence analysis, and outcome recommendations, ensuring a trauma-informed and procedurally fair approach.
• Listen and understand – Act as a trusted point of contact, creating safe, supportive environments where employees feel confident speaking openly.
• Manage complexity with professionalism – Handle a diverse range of conduct matters with discretion, sound judgment, and an ability to balance competing priorities.
• Deliver high-quality documentation – Prepare clear, accurate, and objective investigation reports that support defensible decision-making and organisational compliance.
• Support consistency and best practice – Apply and champion practical, best-practice investigation processes, templates, and workflows.
• Engage stakeholders with confidence – Build trust with leaders, employees, and HR colleagues through transparent communication, professionalism, and a commitment to fairness.
• Maintain precise records – Ensure case files meet legal, regulatory, and organisational standards, ready for review if required.
• Contribute insights – Identify themes and trends from case data to support cultural improvements, risk identification, and continuous enhancement of people processes. 

What Make You a Great Fit

• Tertiary or Diploma-level qualifications in Human Resources or a related discipline. Formal investigation qualifications are highly regarded.
• Extensive experience managing workplace investigations, ideally in complex, high-stakes, or unionised environments.
• Practical knowledge of the Fair Work Act, awards, enterprise agreements, and compliance frameworks, with a commitment to procedural fairness.
• Ability to balance empathy with accountability, supporting employees while engaging constructively with leaders and stakeholders.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce accurate, objective documentation and navigate sensitive conversations with confidence.
• Equipped with trauma-informed practices, ensuring care, dignity, and respect are embedded in every interaction.
• Able to identify patterns, spot inconsistencies, and contribute to ongoing improvements in workplace culture, processes, and organisational capability.
