Working closely with operational teams and senior management, you will provide practical, hands-on Health & Safety support across the business, helping to maintain high standards of compliance while continuing to develop a positive and proactive safety culture.
This is a highly visible role suited to someone who enjoys being out within the operation, engaging with employees and managers and driving continuous improvement rather than simply managing H&S from behind a desk.

Provide day-to-day Health & Safety advice and guidance across multiple operational sites
Support managers in maintaining compliance with current UK Health & Safety legislation
Carry out site inspections, audits and risk assessments

Work closely with operational teams to ensure Health & Safety is embedded into everyday working practices
Maintain accurate H&S documentation, records and reporting
Support continuous improvement initiatives across the sites
Promote a positive safety culture and encourage employee engagement at all levels

Has previous experience within a Health & Safety Adviser, Coordinator or similar role
Holds a recognised Health & Safety qualification such as NEBOSH General Certificate or equivalent
Has a good working knowledge of UK Health & Safety legislation
Is confident completing risk assessments, audits and incident investigations
Has experience within a fast-paced operational environment
Ideally comes from fresh produce, food manufacturing, FMCG, warehousing, distribution or a similar environment
Is practical, approachable and comfortable working directly with operational teams
Can confidently challenge unsafe practices while building strong working relationships
Is organised and able to manage Health & Safety requirements across multiple locations

What's on Offer This is an opportunity to join an established and growing business where Health & Safety is an important part of the operational agenda.
The role offers plenty of variety and autonomy, with the opportunity to work closely with operational leaders and make a genuine impact on safety standards and culture across the business.
If you are an experienced Health & Safety professional looking for a hands-on, multi-site position within a fast-moving operational environment, we would be keen to hear from you.
