• In collaboration with the People Business Partnering team, develop and deliver WHS and wellbeing training, tools and resources
• Coach leaders and team members to embed a proactive, safety-first mindset across the organisation
• Set up and maintain reporting systems to track WHS performance, trends and incidents
• Provide actionable insights and recommendations to senior stakeholders
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives to strengthen maturity across WHS and injury management

ABOUT YOU

• 4+ years’ experience in a WHS, safety advisory or injury management role, ideally within a multi-site environment (retail industry experience a bonus)
• Strong understanding of relevant WHS legislation in both Australia and New Zealand
• Experience managing end-to-end WorkCover and return-to-work processes
• Comfortable developing training and working with stakeholders at all levels
