-    Collaborate with internal and external partners to promote a safe and healthy workplace.
-    Support policy development, program improvement, and legislative compliance.
-    Analyze health and safety data and provide recommendations to improve employee wellbeing.
-    Champion a culture of health, safety, and wellness across the organization.

Key Qualifications:
-    A Bachelor's Degree in Nursing, AND 
-    A minimum of three (3) years work-related experience in a health or social services discipline
