An Exciting Opportunity for 2027

With our new in-house Safer Community service set to launch in early 2027, now is the perfect time to explore your next career opportunity with Curtin University. We're recruiting ahead of this exciting transition, giving successful candidates the opportunity to join a newly established team and help shape the future of our Safer Community service at the Kalgoorlie Campus.

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced and motivated Safer Community Shift Supervisor to lead frontline operations and support the safety, security and wellbeing of the Curtin Kalgoorlie community.

As Shift Supervisor, you will provide leadership and direction to a team of Safer Community Officers while overseeing day-to-day operations during rostered shifts.

You will be joining the service as Curtin transitions Kalgoorlie security operations from an outsourced model to direct University delivery, providing an opportunity to help establish the team and contribute to how the service operates from the outset. The approved business case identifies improved student experience, greater operational oversight, enhanced governance and accountability,



consistent Safer Communities service delivery and reduced operational and reputational risk as key reasons for the change.

- Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and the ongoing development of Safer Community operations.
