Health And Safety Manager in Liverpool

Are you a Health & Safety professional who believes that great safety performance starts with engaged people, strong leadership, and a positive culture? We are looking for a passionate Health & Safety Manager to lead and develop safety across multiple logistics and warehousing sites in the North West. This is an opportunity to build something meaningful—creating an environment where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to work safely every day.

As part of a long-established and highly respected group of businesses, you'll have the autonomy to shape safety standards, influence behaviours, and help develop a proactive safety culture across the business. This is far more than a compliance role; it's about building relationships, coaching leaders, and ensuring every colleague goes home safe at the end of each shift.

With over 150 years of history, our group has built a reputation for investing in its people, developing talent, and maintaining high operational standards across logistics, shipping, industrial services, and related sectors. Due to continued growth, we are establishing a dedicated Health & Safety function within our North West logistics operations and are seeking an experienced leader to help drive this exciting next phase.

As Health & Safety Manager, you will lead the development of a new regional safety team, working closely with operational managers and frontline colleagues to embed a positive, people-focused safety culture. You will be visible across the business, spending time with teams, understanding operational challenges, encouraging engagement, and promoting safe behaviours through coaching, support, and collaboration. While compliance and regulatory standards remain important, your success will be measured by your ability to influence people, improve safety awareness, and create a culture where everyone takes ownership of health and safety.

• Lead and develop a newly established Health & Safety team across multiple North West sites.
• Champion a positive and proactive safety culture throughout the business.
• Build strong relationships with operational leaders and frontline teams.
• Coach, mentor, and support managers to improve safety leadership capability.
• Deliver engaging health and safety training, awareness campaigns, and behavioural initiatives.
• Identify opportunities for continuous improvement and implement practical solutions.
• Conduct site inspections, audits, and risk assessments while maintaining a visible presence within operations.
• Ensure compliance with relevant legislation and company standards.
• Investigate incidents and near misses, focusing on learning and prevention rather than blame.

• Proven experience in a Health & Safety leadership role.
• Background within logistics, warehousing, distribution, transport, or a similar operational environment.
• Strong people skills with the ability to engage, influence, and inspire at all levels.
• Passion for developing a positive safety culture and driving behavioural change.
• A practical, hands-on approach with the ability to balance operational realities with safety excellence.
• Strong communication, coaching, and leadership capabilities.
• NEBOSH qualification (or equivalent).

• Opportunity to build and shape a new regional Health & Safety function.
• Autonomy to make a genuine impact on culture and performance.
• Join a stable and growing business with a strong commitment to its people.
• Ongoing training, development, and progression opportunities.
• Be part of a business where safety is viewed as a core value, not just a compliance requirement.

If you're passionate about creating safer workplaces, developing people, and building a culture where everyone takes responsibility for safety, we'd love to hear from you.
