Leadership is part of who we are

At GESB, we consider all our people to be leaders. As such we expect everyone to demonstrate the behaviours and associated mindsets outlined in Building Leadership Impact and further detailed in the Public Sector Commissions Leadership Expectations. Together, these provide a clear understanding of the leadership behaviours expected of all employees.

To be successful in this application, you’ll need to demonstrate these leadership behaviours in the context of Leading Leaders.

Leaders in this context get results through leaders and their teams in a single business area, and influence leaders in other business areas. They create a culture of high performance and accountability; and provide direction, develop, and coach their leaders to achieve operational objectives.

Why join our team?

We genuinely value work/life balance, support professional development, and empower our employees to be their best.

Some of the benefits of working at GESB include:

• Competitive remuneration: Award-based salary with annual increments and a 12% superannuation contribution, plus access to generous salary packaging arrangements.
• Flexible working: Flexible hours, work-from-home options, and a variety of leave arrangements – including an extra 3 public service holidays and the ability to purchase additional leave.
• Professional growth: Comprehensive learning and development opportunities, including study leave and financial assistance.
• Health and wellbeing: A range of wellbeing initiatives and free, confidential access to our Employee Assistance Program for you and your immediate family.
• Inclusive leave options: Cultural leave for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff, 18 weeks paid parental leave with flexible return-to-work options, and additional leave for disability, family and domestic violence, and reproductive health.
• Great location and facilities: a CBD office close to Perth’s best coffee spots, with excellent public transport access, nearby parking, and end-of-trip facilities for active commuters.
