The organisation
We are partnering with a respected not-for-profit organisation delivering essential services that positively impact children, families and communities across New South Wales.
 
Recognised for its values-driven culture, commitment to continuous improvement and investment in its people, the organisation is committed to strengthening workplace safety and creating environments where its teams can thrive. With genuine executive and Board support, this is an opportunity to make a meaningful and lasting impact.
 
The opportunity
Reporting to the Head of People & Culture, this dedicated Workplace Safety Business Partner role has been established to lead the next phase of the organisation's workplace safety journey.

You will:
  • Partner with leaders to strengthen workplace health and safety across multiple services.
  • Enhance existing WHS frameworks, governance, reporting and risk management practices.
  • Coach, influence and build capability so safety becomes part of everyday operations.
  • Lead initiatives that improve physical and psychosocial safety while driving continuous improvement.
 
About you
You are an experienced Workplace Health & Safety professional who enjoys partnering with leaders, influencing positive change and building practical solutions that make a lasting impact.
You will bring:
  • Relevant qualifications in Workplace Health & Safety.
  • Experience developing and improving WHS systems within a multi-site organisation.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement and coaching skills, with the ability to influence at all levels.
  • Sound knowledge of contemporary WHS legislation and best practice.
  • Experience in education, community services, healthcare or another regulated environment will be highly regarded.
 
What’s on Offer
  • Shape workplace safety across a respected multi-site not-for-profit organisation.
  • Build on well-established systems while influencing the next phase of the organisation's workplace safety journey.
  • Genuine executive and Board commitment to workplace health and safety.
  • Hybrid working arrangement with flexibility and meaningful engagement across services.
  • Collaborative, values-driven culture where continuous improvement is genuinely embraced.
  • Leave a lasting organisational legacy by embedding sustainable workplace safety practices.
