Desired Skills and Experience
About the role
Across both positions, you'll be responsible for delivering end-to-end WHS support, including providing practical WHS advice to leaders and employees, supporting WHS systems, policies and compliance requirements, leading and/or supporting incident investigations and risk management activities, coordinating audits, inspections and hazard identification, supporting WHS training and capability uplift, and contributing to a positive and proactive safety culture.
About the split
This is not a shared or blended role,



but two distinct part-time positions held by the same person.
You will have two separate employment contracts, work with different stakeholders and teams in each organisation, and manage your time across both roles in line with the agreed ********* split (0.4 Black Dog Institute and 0.4 NeuRA).
Both organisations are co-located in Randwick, making this a practical and flexible setup.
About you
You're a capable and organised WHS professional who is comfortable managing multiple priorities and stakeholders.
You'll bring experience in a WHS Advisor or Specialist role, strong knowledge of WHS legislation and its practical application, experience in incident investigation, risk management and audits, robust stakeholder engagement skills, and the ability to work independently across two environments.
Experience in research, health, education or not-for-profit environments is beneficial.
Things to know
This role involves two separate employment contracts and onboarding processes.
Each organisation operates its own WHS systems and governance.
You'll need to be comfortable working across two environments and managing competing priorities.
If you're looking for variety and autonomy and are comfortable working across two parallel roles, we'd love to hear from you.
Inclusion
We are committed to fostering an inclusive and accessible recruitment experience where all candidates can fully participate in the process.
We warmly encourage applications from First Nations peoples, culturally and racially diverse communities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, people with disabilities, and others from underrepresented backgrounds.
We recognise that not everyone has had equal access to opportunities, and valuable skills and perspectives can be gained through diverse life experiences.
