About the Role

The Health & Safety Officer plays an important role in helping to create safe, healthy and supportive workplaces across Vasey RSL Care.

Your work will include supporting workplace inspections, audits, emergency preparedness activities, safety training and incident management.

You will also support workplace inductions, employee wellbeing initiatives and the administration of Fit for Work, WorkCover and return to work processes.

This is a varied role where no two days are the same. You will spend time building relationships with staff, visiting sites, supporting safety activities and helping ensure our people have the information and resources they need to work safely.

If you enjoy working with people, being part of a supportive team and making a positive difference to workplace safety and wellbeing, we'd love to hear from you.

About You

You’re someone who enjoys working with people and wants to make a positive difference to workplace safety and wellbeing.

You will be organised, approachable and proactive, with a strong focus on customer service and teamwork. You'll enjoy building positive relationships with employees, managers and other stakeholders, and be comfortable balancing site-based activities with administrative tasks.

To be successful in this role, you will have:

  • A Certificate IV in Work Health & Safety, or a related qualification.
  • Experience supporting workplace health, safety and wellbeing initiatives.
  • Experience conducting workplace inspections, safety checks, audits or compliance activities.
  • Good administrative and organisational skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities, maintain accurate records and meet deadlines.
  • Well-developed communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build positive working relationships with employees, managers, contractors and external stakeholders.
  • A current driver's licence and the ability to travel between sites as required.
  • Satisfactory completion of a National Police Records Check (arranged by Vasey RSL Care).
  • Valid working rights, which will be subject to a VEVO check.

It would be great if you also have:

  • Experience working in aged care, healthcare, community services or a similar sector.
  • An understanding of WorkCover and return to work processes.
  • Experience delivering workplace training or toolbox talks
  • Awareness of aged care legislation, standards and safety-related compliance requirements.
  • Experience using incident management, learning or workplace safety systems.

We recognise the rich diversity of people across Australia. We are committed to ensuring that our team is reflective of the diverse community we serve and to supporting a culture of equity, inclusion and diversity.

Vasey RSL Care is a partner in the Veteran and Defence Partner Employment Program and encourages veterans and defence partners to apply.

  • Competitive salary and conditions of employment
  • Generous salary packaging option (up to $18,550 tax-free salary component)
  • Paid parental leave
  • Option to purchase extra leave
  • Flexible work hours/WFH options for work-life balance
