BEHAVIOURAL CONSULTANTS - UK Applications are now closed

In the modern context of organisations, coaching is becoming more and more important as a means of bringing about change at the level of the individual – providing insights, directed learning, and shifts and growth in personal awareness that lead to changes in behaviour within the organisation (and indeed, in a person’s life as a whole). Individual change is likely to lead to cultural change as the ripples spread out around them.

So what? Well, at Optimus we believe that if we motivate people to want to change, give them the skills they need to do things differently then support them in the workplace through targeted coaching, we are more likely to get greater and greater levels of change and transformation. We bring about behavioural change through coaching at the level of a person’s attitude, beliefs, values, identity or sense of purpose. Some people and some organisations aren’t ready for transformation. But if they are, then we have the tools and the people to take them on that journey.

We are seeking behavioural consultants who can:

Identify an organisation’s culture and develop a behavioural strategy to deal with the people, business performance or cultural issues at the root of the perceived problem
Use their extensive experience and expertise in change methodologies, or application of psychological and business models to the field of safety, environment and health
Develop and deliver specific high level training or coaching programmes to meet a organisation’s needs
Carry out training or coaching at a leadership level in blue-chip organisations that leads to behavioural change in the workforce
Apply their skills and knowledge to the area of safety, health or environment within the oil and gas, construction or mining industries.

The ideal candidate would hold qualifications or have experience in any of the following: organisational development, change processes, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, occupational psychology, human factors, or people development. In addition, a qualification or extensive experience in coaching is essential.

We have current vacancies based in the UK, Europe and Australia, and extensive travel is expected.

BEHAVIOURAL SAFETY TRAINERS - UK Applications are now closed

Here at Optimus Safety Management Ltd, we keep people awake. In fact, our job is to awaken people to a new and different way of viewing safety. This isn’t about ‘telling’. We love to inspire and motivate people, to give them an insight into why, fascinatingly, humans are vulnerable in the world of work, and how we can use our very human instinct to care as a tool for a better safety performance.

Facilitation of both small and major events

Convey a sense of personal charisma
Be warm, passionate and fired up to make a difference
Balance wisdom and insightfulness with humility and internal strength
