A few things you should know about Northland Regional Council… we aren't about parking tickets, roading, building consents or any of that stuff!
Our work is ultimately about working together to care for our region's incredible environment and many communities, matching our skills and resources with the vision and aspirations of our people.
Toitū te whenua, toitū to moana, toitū te tangata. If the land is well, if the sea is well, the people will thrive.
The opportunity
As part of the human resources and health and safety team, you will actively lead and develop fit for purpose and best practice health and safety and wellbeing initiatives. You will provide guidance and specialist advice in health and safety and human resources, contributing to policies and processes, deliver training and development and more!
This role is key to ensure that the organisation is fully equipped to perform its objectives and comply with relevant legislation and regulations through the development and implementation of effective health and safety and human resources processes and programmes. This role is the perfect next step for someone wanting to progress in their career and take that next step in a multi-disciplinary focussed position in an operationally diverse organisation.
Are you up for it?
You will have an operational and strategic health and safety skillset, together with experience and knowledge in human resources. Our ideal person will have a relevant degree and a minimum of 5 years generalist knowledge and experience of working in a combination of health and safety and human resources with at least 3 years of that in an advisor or specialist role.
The successful person must have excellent communication, interpersonal, report writing and data analyst skills and be experienced in guiding our people to achieve results.
This role would suit someone who can work independently as well as part of a team. Someone who is always looking for new and improved ways of doing things and has a passion for caring for the environment, especially our water.
We understand that sometimes the right person doesn't ‘tick all the boxes'. If you don't fit the mould exactly, but truly believe you can help continue to build on our safety-first culture and support and develop our people to achieve their goals safely, then tell us, we'll consider it.
