The Opportunity
Interested in workplace safety, admin and helping people work safely each day?

CCGT is looking for a Work Health and Safety Trainee to join a global organisation based in Somersby.

This is a great opportunity to build a career in Work Health and Safety while gaining practical experience in a real workplace environment. No previous WHS experience is needed. You just need to be organised, reliable and ready to learn.

You will be employed by Central Coast Group Training (CCGT) and placed with the Host Employer for your day-to-day work. CCGT will support you throughout your traineeship while you complete a nationally recognised Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety through a reputable Registered Training Organisation.

This is a full-time, 2-year traineeship, generally working 7:00am to 3:06pm, Monday to Friday.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing
Your first few months will focus on learning workplace systems, getting familiar with WHS processes and supporting the team with day-to-day safety administration.

As your skills grow, you’ll start learning how to:

• Assist with WHS administration and documentation
• Maintain safety records, registers and systems
• Support staff and management with WHS-related activities
• Assist with reporting, follow-up actions and safety coordination
• Support workplace safety initiatives and improvement activities
• Learn internal WHS policies, procedures and compliance requirements
• Participate in workplace meetings and safety-related activities
• Complete study tasks as part of your Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety

You will not be expected to know everything on day one. The goal is to listen, ask questions and keep building your confidence.

Why This Is a Good Place to Start
You’ll be learning in a professional workplace with:

• Practical WHS experience within a global organisation
• Exposure to staff and management across different areas of the business
• A supportive team environment
• Real experience in safety, compliance and business operations
• On-the-job training and formal study
• Regular CCGT check-ins throughout your traineeship
• Long-term career development potential, including future management pathways

You’ll also receive paid full-time employment, nationally recognised training and support from CCGT throughout your traineeship.

After your traineeship, career pathways may include Work Health and Safety Officer, Safety Administrator, WHS Coordinator, Compliance Officer, Safety Advisor or WHS Manager.

What We’re Looking For
This role could suit you if you:

• Are genuinely interested in Work Health and Safety
• Are organised and reliable
• Communicate clearly and professionally
• Have good attention to detail
• Are confident using computers, or willing to learn
• Can manage your time and stay on top of tasks
• Listen carefully and follow instructions
• Ask questions when you are unsure
• Can work professionally with staff and management
• Enjoy being part of a team
• Have a driver’s licence, preferred

School subjects, work experience, volunteering, admin tasks, team activities, safety interests or helping family all count. Include anything that shows you are reliable, organised and willing to learn.

• $15.46 per hour, or approximately $587.72 per week for Year 12 School Leaver
