Health & Wellbeing Specialist

Overview

Join the team redefining how the world experiences design. Our flagship campus is in Sydney, with campuses in Melbourne and co-working spaces in Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide. You have choice in where and how you work.

At Canva, we prioritise psychosocial health and holistic wellbeing. You'll join a small but mighty wellbeing team focused on helping Canvanauts prioritise their wellbeing so they can do their best work. This role focuses on psychosocial health and mental health, while physical security and safety are managed by the Security team.

As our Health and Wellbeing Specialist, you'll partner with the Head of Wellbeing to bring technical know-how and delivery expertise that keeps our programs running smoothly and impactful at a global scale. This is a hands-on role for someone with several years of experience in their WHS career and a passion for mental health, who is ready to contribute in an environment that approaches health & wellbeing holistically, strategically and proactively. There is a strong focus on developing and implementing global health and wellness programs that emphasise psychosocial and mental health.
