Are you a proactive Health & Safety professional looking for a hands‑on role within a fast‑paced operational environment?
We're recruiting on behalf of a well‑established and highly successful leisure business seeking a Health & Safety Advisor to support compliance, risk management and operational safety across a busy multi‑site operation.
The Role
Reporting to the Senior Health & Safety Advisor, you will play a key role in ensuring high standards of safety, compliance and operational assurance are maintained across the sites.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Conducting regular site inspections and safety audits
- Identifying risks, compliance issues and areas for improvement
- Tracking and following through corrective actions to completion
- Maintaining statutory inspections, certifications and compliance records
- Supporting incident investigations, near miss reporting and accident management
- Assisting with contractor management, permits to work and RAMS reviews
- Supporting fire safety arrangements, emergency planning and evacuation drills
- Developing and reviewing risk assessments, procedures and safety documentation
- Coordinating compliance actions arising from insurers, audits and inspections
- Producing regular Health & Safety reports and management information
- Working closely with operational teams while providing independent compliance oversight
Skills and Experience
We're looking for a resilient and organised Health & Safety professional who enjoys working in a busy environment and has the confidence to challenge where necessary.
You will ideally have:
- NEBOSH General Certificate or equivalent Health & Safety qualification
- Previous Health & Safety experience within a busy operational environment

- Excellent organisational and reporting skills
- The ability to influence and engage stakeholders at all levels

Experience from any safety‑critical or highly regulated environment will be considered, including:
- Construction
