Role overview

This permanent part-time role is for 3 days per week and follows a hybrid arrangement, with 60% of time in the office and 40% working remotely. The position comes with a pro-rata salary package in the range of 58100 to 61300. It is designed for someone who wants to develop or continue building a career in Work Health and Safety while enjoying flexibility and work-life balance.

As the Work Health and Safety Coordinator, you will support the WHS and Wellbeing Manager and help keep the organisation’s WHS and wellbeing activities running effectively. The role focuses on practical coordination, incident and hazard follow-up, reporting, records management, audit support and communication with stakeholders.

Key duties

• Oversee hazard and incident follow-up, making sure issues are tracked, escalated and resolved in a timely manner.
• Assist with investigations, corrective actions, and upkeep of WHS registers and records.
• Help prepare, review and communicate WHS policies and procedures.
• Manage the WHS email inbox, sort enquiries, and monitor actions through to closure.
• Track audit outcomes and action plans, and ensure reporting and supporting evidence are accurate and complete.
• Arrange WHS meetings and handle scheduling, agendas, minutes and action tracking.

What you’ll bring

The role suits someone with WHS coordination experience, or with strong administrative or support experience who is keen to build a career in Work Health and Safety. You should be comfortable working with systems, processes and records, and be able to manage competing priorities with care and accuracy.

Success in this role will also depend on your ability to communicate clearly, work proactively, follow up actions without prompting, and handle sensitive information discreetly. Experience with Protecht, audit support or evidence collation would be an advantage, but it is not required.

You will join the People & Culture team, which works with internal and external partners to attract, retain, develop and engage employees, helping deliver value for customers and supporting the organisation’s wider purpose.
