  • Supporting compliance with Victorian occupational health and safety legislation and relevant aged care requirements.
  • Working collaboratively with People & Culture, operational leaders and other stakeholders to continue building a positive safety culture.

About you

  • We are looking for someone who combines strong health and safety knowledge with a practical and approachable style.
  • You will ideally bring:

  • Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
  • Confidence working directly with managers and employees to resolve safety issues
  • Strong judgement and the ability to balance compliance requirements with practical operational needs
  • Good organisational, reporting and analytical skills.
  • Experience within aged care, community services, disability, healthcare or another dispersed/direct-care workforce environment will be highly regarded.

This is a 12-month fixed-term position available on a part-time or full-time basis, based at our Seddon office, with hybrid working arrangements and travel to other AMCS workplaces and community-based work locations as required.

If you are an experienced health, safety and wellbeing professional who enjoys being visible, practical and connected to the workforce, we would love to hear from you.
