The Safe Step is partnering with Australian Red Cross Lifeblood, one of Australia’s most trusted and purpose-driven organisations, to appoint multiple Health and Injury Support Specialists.
With more than 4,000 employees nationally, Lifeblood plays a critical role in Australia’s healthcare system, connecting generous donors with the patients and communities who rely on blood, plasma and biological products.
Due to continued growth within the Health and Wellbeing function, these newly created roles will help strengthen injury management capability across both work-related and non-work-related injuries. Reporting to the National Manager Health and Injury, you will support Lifeblood’s proactive, wellbeing-led approach to recovery at work, helping leaders and employees achieve safe, sustainable outcomes.
