The Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) department is an essential function within Human Resources, delivering a range of services to all areas of the University in support of health, safety, and occupational health.
The EveryDaySafe (EDS) programme consists of a series of integrated projects to improve the safety management system and the safety culture across the University.
The programme will be delivered over three years, and this role is critical to the initial two years of planning and proposal- development.

About the Role
You will take responsibility for overseeing the development and delivery of a number of key projects and outcomes that will support the EDS programme.
You will work closely with the Director of Occupational Safety and Health, and deliver a series of change proposals for consideration by the University’s Safety Executive Group (SEG), and ensuring detailed consultation is undertaken with all stakeholders across the University.
You will also develop and maintain a series of risk registers that set out the project risks and their mitigations, and provide with regular reporting for the various senior leadership teams.
