Health & Safety Trainer
If you want to make a difference…. join our HR team! We are searching for a Health & Safety Trainer who wants to be part of an organization that makes a difference in the lives of others.
The Health & Safety Trainer plays a vital role in equipping staff with essential skills to promote a safe, responsive, and trauma-informed workplace. This position is responsible for delivering engaging and effective training in areas such as de-escalation and behavioral safety, CPR, First Aid, LifeVac, and Narcan Overdose Prevention and Rescue.
