Closing date: 02/11/2025

Toowoomba Regional Council is embarking on the next chapter of its
people and culture journey, one that places the wellbeing, safety
and success of its people at the heart of everything it does. This
newly created position of Manager, Health, Safety and Wellbeing
reflects Council's commitment
to building a thriving, safe and supportive workplace where
everyone can contribute their best.

Reporting to the General Manager Corporate Services, the
Manager will lead a dedicated team responsible for developing
and implementing Council-wide health, safety and wellbeing
strategies, programs, and systems. With oversight of workplace
health and safety, rehabilitation, and wellness functions, you
will ensure that Council's practices not only meet
legislative obligations but actively promote a culture of care,
accountability, and continuous improvement.

Working closely with leaders across Council and the Corporate
Safety Committee, you will:

  • Provide strategic leadership and guidance on all
    aspects of workplace health, safety, and wellbeing
  • Build the capability of leaders and employees through
    education, coaching and practical initiatives
  • Oversee the implementation of Council's Health
    and Safety Roadmap and drive proactive safety
    performance
  • Identify and deliver programs that enhance physical and
    psychological wellbeing, engagement, and inclusion
  • Ensure contemporary systems, reporting frameworks and
    performance metrics are in place and effectively
    managed
  • Lead a team of health, safety, and wellbeing
    professionals to deliver responsive, high-quality advice
    and services

As a visible and trusted leader, you will create a culture
where wellbeing and safety are shared responsibilities. Your
ability to lead through influence, communicate with clarity and
engage others in meaningful change will be key to your
success.

To be successful, you will bring tertiary qualifications in
health and safety, human resources or a related field, and a
strong track record of leading teams and delivering strategic
workplace health and safety initiatives. Experience within
local government, infrastructure or complex multi-site
environments will be highly regarded.

This is a unique opportunity to make a real impact in a
progressive regional council that genuinely values its people.
Toowoomba offers the best of both worlds, a thriving regional
city with outstanding schools, cultural life, and open space,
only 90 minutes from Brisbane.
