WHS and Wellbeing Lead
Benefits...
A global healthcare organisation focused on improving patient outcomes through innovative treatments. Its Australian and New Zealand operations include corporate and field-based teams, supported by a collaborative culture that encourages initiative, accountability and new ideas.
About the opportunity...
Bring your workers’ compensation expertise to a role where you can take ownership, improve how things are done and contribute to employee health and wellbeing.

Duties...
You will join a business that values constructive ideas and strong working relationships. This opportunity will suit someone who enjoys taking ownership, finding practical solutions and balancing employee care with sound business judgement.
How to Apply...
Your application will be reviewed by Francesca Strange, Specialist Manager.
