This is Adairs
Adairs is on an exciting journey to become Australia's Ultimate Home Style Destination, and this is the perfect time to join us as we grow. For over 100 years, we've helped Australians create homes that are stylish, functional, and uniquely theirs. This role is responsible for driving day-to-day WHS compliance, supporting a positive safety culture, and helping reduce workplace incidents and workers compensation claims across our retail network.

How You'll Add Value

  • Develop and deliver the Group-wide Retail Health & Safety strategy across multiple retail brands
  • Lead the Health & Safety and Workers Compensation programs, driving early intervention and injury prevention initiatives
  • Ensure compliance with WHS legislation, Group policies, procedures, and safe work practices
  • Foster a strong safety culture through leadership, coaching, accountability and continuous improvement
  • Drive reductions in LTIFR, TRIFR and workers compensation claims through proactive risk management
  • Lead incident investigations, root cause analysis, and corrective action implementation
  • Partner with operational leaders to support their Health & Safety responsibilities and capability development
  • Oversee Health & Safety reporting, including Board-level insights, metrics and KPI performance
  • Design and deliver training programs that strengthen organisational capability and meet due diligence obligations

About You

  • Significant experience leading Health & Safety strategies and outcomes within a multi-site retail environment or comparable multi-site operation.
  • Strong knowledge of Australian WHS legislation and Workers Compensation frameworks
  • Proven success developing and implementing safety strategies across complex organisations
  • Experience managing claims, injury management and return-to-work programs
  • Strong stakeholder engagement, coaching and influencing skills across all leadership levels
  • Data-driven with excellent analytical, problem-solving and reporting capabilities
  • Passionate about building high-performing teams and fostering a positive safety culture

Make Home Your Career
At Adairs, we're passionate about creating a workplace where people feel inspired, supported and excited about the impact they make. Our purpose-built Support Office at Chadstone has been designed with our people in mind, creating an environment where collaboration, wellbeing and connection thrive.

Here's What Makes Working with Us Special

  • Work from a world-class retail and lifestyle destination, with unparalleled access to shopping, dining and everyday essentials
  • Paid Parental Leave – supporting your family through life's biggest moments
  • Up to 6 weeks’ annual leave with purchased leave option
  • Heavily discounted reformer Pilates, barre, and spin classes just steps from our office
  • State-of-the-art end-of-trip facilities — ride in, refresh or get ready for a night out
  • A fun, buzzing office culture (yes, the drinks cart makes an appearance) — bubbles included
  • Generous team discount across Adairs and our wider group, including exclusive sample sales
  • Referral rewards — good people bring good people
  • Weekly “All-In” meetings – always be in the know of what is happening across the entire business
  • Free onsite parking + novated lease options
  • Support that matters: EAP (legal, financial, wellbeing) + discounted health insurance
  • Family-friendly benefits, including a dedicated nursing room for new parents

Why Adairs?
This is an opportunity to shape and influence safety outcomes across a diverse retail network, working closely with senior leaders to build a safer, healthier and more compliant organisation.
