• Create real measurable impact, reduce injuries and enhance well being using research and your experience to deliver meaningful engagement and actions
• Enjoy the autonomy in this new role to set priorities and direct effort where people and data insights tell us it matters most
• Bring together your clinical expertise and critical thinking to deliver practical people-focused outcomes that genuinely improve workers lives
• Based in East Tamaki with flexible hybrid working to support getting the outcomes in this role

Kōrero mō te tūranga - About the role

At NZ Post, keeping our people safe and well is fundamental to delivering for Aotearoa. Your focus will be to meaningfully reduce workplace injuries across key operational sites by improving how work is designed, how risks are managed and how people are supported when injuries occur.

Partnering closely with site leaders and frontline teams, you'll turn insight into action. Using data, observation and clinical expertise, you will help reshape work design, enable faster access to treatment and support return to work pathways.

While this role is based in Highbrook, your impact will be felt well beyond one site.  You'll travel semi regularly to other Auckland locations to support teams on the ground, with periodic travel across the country to work alongside our wider operational network.

This is a highly autonomous role where no two days look the same. You will set priorities, build work plans and focus your effort where it will have the greatest impact on people and outcomes.

You'll do that by:

• Analysing injury data and work practices to co-design effective prevention strategies
• Observing physical work tasks and adapting ways of working to reduce risk
• Coaching and upskilling frontline leaders in practical injury reduction approaches
• Facilitating early access to medical and treatment providers
• Co-designing and supporting return to work programmes with leaders and partners
• Shaping and strengthening onsite clinical services.

Mōu - About you

You are a clinically trained professional who understands how bodies move, how injuries happen and how workplaces can be redesigned to reduce harm.  You bring strong reasoning skills, practical judgement and the confidence to challenge existing approaches.

You work well with people from all backgrounds, read the room quickly and adapt your style to build trust.  You balance empathy with pragmatism and understand the realities leaders and frontline teams face every day.  You're also comfortable working with ambiguity, managing your time and saying no when needed to stay focused on priorities. You are motivated by creating safer workplaces and better outcomes for people.

You'll combine that with

• Experience as a Physiotherapist or Clinical Exercise Physiologist
• 5+ years' experience in workplace injury prevention
• Strong understanding of biomechanics, human movement and injury causation
• Knowledge of NZ injury systems including ACC processes and pathways
• Experience partnering with leaders and influencing practical safety outcomes
• High EQ, sound judgement and strong stakeholder engagement skills
