Ohs/whs Consultant

**Description**:

- Full time or part time. Victoria, NSW or QLD based._
- Opportunity to join a growing Australian OHS Consulting business
- Values based organisation with a commitment to making a real difference
- Victorian based role with fully hybrid arrangements (we were doing this before anyone knew what it meant)

Are you a passionate OHS practitioner or professional, ready to make the move into consulting? Do you have experience in managing safety and would like to share that knowledge and skills to improve the health and safety of people across a range of workplaces? We are looking for passionate safety advisors, looking to start their consulting careers in a firm that cares about its people, its client’s, and the work we do.

**About Us**

Our mission is to strive to make safety accessible and easier for all people, no matter their expertise. Yep, we’re those guys, we work hard to ensure mums, dads, brothers, sisters and (big) children arrive home from work daily, so they can live life to the fullest.

To support this mission, we started Action OHS Consulting and then realised that we could empower businesses to manage safety independently, if they had technology that was built to suit them. That’s why we built Safety Champion Software, which today, co-exists side by side with Action OHS Consulting as sister companies. Collectively, both businesses employ 30 employees, with double digit growth in our headcount in 2021.

**About the Role**

Our growth plans see us building out our OHS consultant capacity in our Victorian, NSW and QLD teams. We are looking for passionate OHS/WHS professionals who are motivated to resolve workplace health and safety issues in a practical, approachable and efficient way. 'Geek out' on safety with our extraordinary national team of OHS/WHS experts. Be supported to take yourself out of your comfort zone working across multiple industries (if you don't know the answer, one of our consultants will).

You'll thrive in an environment where every day is different - working from home, the office or on site with the client. You'll use your ability to make clients feel at ease with not only with your ability to develop a trusting and strong relationship but also your evidence-based approach to managing safety. They will see how we can make a real difference in their workplaces. Our consultants are client-focused, aiming to provide effective solutions so our clients can manage their safety responsibilities, whilst still focussing on their core business operations.

Transitioning from another consulting role or perhaps making a career move from a residential safety role you'll gain experience in all kinds of workplaces and work with clients of all levels. However, we usually (but not always) find ourselves working with organisations in which there is a small safety team, or the safety management role is held by someone within the Human Resources, Operations or Finance function.

You will work closely with and have ongoing mentoring from a Senior Consultant and our General Manager, with exposure to learnings from across the business, in addition to having the autonomy to develop strong working relationships with your clients and work across a range of projects.

This role offers great flexibility with opportunities to work from our Cremorne office (if based locally), home or onsite at client workplaces.

**Qualifications**

To be considered for this role, you must have:

- A vocational OHS/WHS qualification with relevant OHS/WHS experience.
- 3+ years experience in OHS/WHS management or senior advisory in-house roles.
- Highly proficient writing and communication skills, as demonstrated through experience in the development of professional and/or technical documentation, and presentations for a range of audiences and forums.
- A full driver’s licence and access to a vehicle, with a willingness to travel to client sites as required.
- Membership of the Australian Institute of Health and Safety (AIHS) or other relevant professional membership.

Applicants with the following will be highly regarded:

- A tertiary qualification in workplace health and safety; injury management and rehabilitation; or an allied health specialty
- Professional grading/certification with the Australian Institute of Health and Safety (AIHS)
- Lead Auditor qualifications and professional experience working with ISO 45001 and / or the National Audit Tool
- Demonstrated experience in building management systems that have been certified against the ISO standard for safety. Experience with both the quality and environment standard is also welcomed.
- Current/previous accreditation with the WorkSafe Victoria OHS Essential Program (or eagerness to obtain)
- Certificate IV TAE qualifications
- Bilingual or multilingual speakers
