Occupational Health Technician

Join Us as an Occupational Health Technician – Make Workplaces Safer & Healthier!

Looking for a role that’s rewarding, people‑focused, and never boring? LifeCare is on the hunt for a passionate health professional to join our team and grow your career in occupational health. This role will commence in January 2026.

This is a supported yet independent role where you’ll deliver first aid training and health screening services across the Waikato (and sometimes beyond). If you love variety, meeting new people, and making a real difference, you’ll fit right in.

No occupational health experience? No worries! We’ll provide full training. All you need is a health‑related degree (Health Science, Sports Science, etc.).

This is 0.6 full time equivalent part‑time role (3 days a week) ideally working Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with additional days if available by agreement. We will however consider other days for the right candidate.

What You’ll Do

• Run interactive first aid courses that people enjoy.
• Carry out health checks (pre‑employment, annual, drug & alcohol testing).
• Ensure compliance with internal and external processes.
• Accurately record and manage health data using digital systems.
• Travel throughout the Waikato, with some overnight stays and occasional early starts or late finishes.
