1 week ago


Auckland City, New Zealand Oceania Full time

About the role
As our Health and Safety Adviser for the Northern Region, you will provide coaching, and guidance, and engage in mentoring our Northern Region facility managers, village managers and employees to ensure understanding and compliance with Health and Safety and Environmental processes.
Reporting to the Senior Health and Safety Advisor, you will have the autonomy to own H&S for your region, while also having the support of the rest of the team when needed. The expectation is that you will be out and about, helping to create a safe place to work by doing and seeing, rather than writing reports. In this crucial role, you will also:
Work closely with the clinical and operational management team in the development of industry-leading safety culture across all facilities in your region

Assist the Health and Safety Manager and National Safety and Injury Management Advisor to provide reporting on all staff incidents/injuries, and assisting managers, where appropriate, with the return-to-work plans throughout Oceania Healthcare

Lead or assist in the implementation of specific Health and Safety projects and initiatives as required, with particular focus on wellbeing

Assist with the planning, development, implementation, and maintenance of Health and Safety & Environmental processes and procedures both nationally and regionally

Assist in obtaining a high level of staff engagement for health and safety by working alongside the staff at the facility level

Assisting facilities with investigations and root cause analysis when required

The role will ideally be based in Auckland City and will cover our facilities from Pukekohe in the South to Ruakaka in the North. This role also requires travel between facilities and regions within the Northern Region.

About You
To be successful in this role you will have energy, passion, and ideas with a natural ability to solve problems. You will have excellent communication skills and a strong ability to lead engagement at all levels. You’ll also bring:
A tertiary qualification in Occupational Health and Safety or equivalent combination of qualifications and experience

3+ years’ experience in H&S coordinator or advisory roles, or in another relevant role

Experience in developing and delivering coaching material to managers and employees

Previous experience in an industry with high levels of manual handling risk (preferred)

Excellent time management and prioritisation skills

A proven record of delivering results and change while working independently

The ability to think through new and novel solutions, using initiative

A clean NZ driver’s license & the right to work in NZ.
