  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date health and safety records, compliance information and documentation, ensuring information is well-organised, accessible and managed in line with data protection and retention requirements.
  • Support the monitoring, analysis and reporting of health and safety data, helping the team identify trends, prepare management reports and provide insight that supports informed decision-making.
  • Administer health and safety training, including managing bookings, coordinating logistics, issuing evaluation forms and producing summary feedback reports.
  • Support the delivery of health and safety campaigns, projects and corporate initiatives, including research, preparation of briefing materials and coordination of communications.
  • Maintain and manage the health and safety SharePoint site and online channels, ensuring content is accurate, well-structured and supports effective engagement across the organisation.
  • Support consistent communication of corporate health and safety standards, updates and guidance, working with colleagues and Internal Communications to promote clarity and alignment.
  • Build strong working relationships with colleagues across departments, supporting a culture of openness, learning and shared responsibility for health and safety.

Your talent This position could be right for you if you:

  • Have experience providing administrative support in a busy, multi-disciplinary or complex organisation, with confidence managing competing priorities.
  • Are comfortable maintaining records, databases and systems, and enjoy working with data, reports and structured information.
  • Are organised, methodical and detail-focused, with the ability to plan, track actions and follow tasks through to completion.
  • Communicate clearly and professionally, both verbally and in writing, including taking accurate minutes and producing clear documents.

  • Take a proactive, helpful approach, using your initiative to identify improvements and support colleagues.
  • Handle sensitive or confidential information with professionalism, discretion and integrity.
