This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced WHS Manager to join a purpose-driven not-for-profit organisation committed to the safety and wellbeing of its people.

The WHS function has established a WHS roadmap and action plan, with this 12-month contract playing a key role in delivering strategic projects, strengthening the WHS Management System and embedding a positive safety culture across the organisation.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the implementation of a new WHS software platform to support the WHS Management System;

• Partner with external consultants to develop and enhance WHS policies, procedures, guidelines, registers and tools;

• Review and strengthen emergency management, fire safety and preparedness processes across the organisation;

• Lead WHS projects and continuous improvement initiatives aligned to the organisation's three-year WHS roadmap;

• Provide expert advice on WHS legislation, risk management and organisational safety requirements across multiple jurisdictions;

• Develop and implement practical WHS frameworks, procedures, tools and action plans to improve safety maturity;

• Partner with leaders and stakeholders to strengthen safety culture, consultation and proactive risk management; and

• Analyse WHS data, monitor proactive safety initiatives and provide reporting, insights and recommendations to senior stakeholders.

The Ideal Candidate

You will be a personable, pragmatic and hands-on WHS professional who enjoys working collaboratively to create meaningful change. You will be confident operating at a strategic level while remaining comfortable getting into the detail and working directly with operational teams.

The successful candidate will be an excellent communicator who can influence stakeholders, navigate competing priorities and bring people along on the WHS journey.

You will thrive in an environment where there is an opportunity to build, improve and innovate, rather than simply maintain existing systems.

Key Requirements

• Tertiary qualification in WHS, Occupational Health & Safety or a related discipline;

• Strong knowledge of WHS legislation, regulatory requirements and WHS Management Systems;

• Proven experience developing and implementing WHS frameworks, policies, procedures and systems;
