You are a seasoned WHS professional with either specialist WHS certifications or accreditations or substantial hands-on experience in the WHS domain. Experience in front line workforce environments across multi-site operations will be highly regarded.  

Your deep understanding of WHS legislation is matched by your commitment to compliance and your ability to educate and support others in maintaining safe practices. You’re confident in coordinating WHS committees and governance structures, and you thrive in the operational aspects of WHS.  

You’re skilled in engaging with a wide range of stakeholders—internal and external—including leaders, unions, and industry associations. You bring expertise in injury management, return-to-work programs, and wellbeing initiatives, and you’re comfortable providing leadership and guidance in these areas. 

You understand that WHS is a shared responsibility and are adept at bringing people along for the journey by cultivating a culture where wellbeing is central. As the WHS & Wellbeing Manager you will operate across both strategic and hands on operational levels, with the ability to shift seamlessly between the two. 

You’re also passionate about continuous improvement, bringing innovative thinking to enhance WHS systems and practices. Your approach helps reduce injury recurrence, support employee recovery, and minimize lost time—always with a strong focus on wellbeing. 

At Whiddon, we’re a not-for-profit organisation—but more importantly, we’re one big team. We treat our residents, families, clients, and team members with genuine care, respect, and passion. We hope you’ll join our Whiddon family at Glenfield in this permanent full-time role.
