**About our Team**
Headquarters Air Command (HQAC) Human Performance and Safety (HPS) is leading transformational change across Air Force to optimise the performance and well-being, including combat effectiveness, of Air Force personnel.
HPS is responsible for developing and delivering relevant and credible HPS support to Unit Commanders and their teams while also ensuring Air Force Senior Leadership enact their due-diligence obligations IAW the Work Health and Safety, Radiation Protection and Environmental Protection Acts.
This is achieved through the development and delivery of innovative and adaptive human performance and risk programs to optimise the relationship between personnel and their equipment (including advanced combat aircraft and weapons systems) through an accurate understanding of the workplace culture and its influence on human behaviour. The outcome is risk-based intelligence (people, plant and process) to deliver predictive and pro-active enhancements to workplace performance.
These programs and tools will target all Air Force personnel, with a priority given to those roles exposed to high physical and/or cognitive occupational loads (e.g. Aircrew, Fighter Combat Instructors, Joint Terminal Attack Controllers, Air Defence Guards, Intelligence Officers, trainees etc.) as well as general programs to enhance the long-term effectiveness of all Air Force members.
The outcome is high performing Air Force teams with increased self-awareness; enhanced attentional focus; resilient responses to challenge and failure; minimised emotional reactivity; physically conditioned to specific roles; and exceptional operational risk-based decision making under pressure. This will optimise combat effectiveness while also ensuring there is adequate recovery to deliver long-term, sustainable capability.
You will be able to demonstrate the ability to proactively anticipate the needs of your senior executive officer as well as flexibility and resilience.
You will have excellent time management skills, strong attention to detail and excel at building and maintaining stakeholder relationships.
