The Public Transport Authority’s (PTA) vision is to be recognised as a leader in providing world-class public transport services and solutions. As a fast growing economy, Western Australia’s public transport system is recognised as the best in Australia and is one of the most efficient, clean and safe networks in the world. Rail transport is vital for our continued success and growth through our many projects including METRONET to meet the public’s needs and expectations. Moving millions of people needs the skill and commitment of a talented workforce.
Young people make up a significant proportion of the Western Australian population and are both current and future patrons of public transport. Through its safety communications programs (Right Track and Stay off the Tracks), the PTA seeks to engage with young people to improve safety outcomes on our rail network.
The Role
This is an exciting part-time opportunity within the Corporate Communications team for a collaborative and self-driven Communications Officer. This role develops and coordinates the delivery of PTA’s youth-focussed safety communications programs. You will work collaboratively with youth stakeholders and young people to co-design a range of community and education-focused initiatives aimed at reducing safety-related issues on the public transport network.
To be considered for this position it is essential that you have experience in the development, delivery and evaluation of youth or community focused communication programs. You must be able to negotiate, think innovatively and facilitate consultation sessions and demonstrate sound communication, interpersonal and problem solving skills.
Suitable applicants are reminded that this is a 4 day/32 hours a week part time opportunity and will be placed in a pool within the next 12 months from which fixed term or permanent appointments may be made.
