Health and Safety Manager
Temporary
Location: the North West
Are you an experienced health and safety professional looking to lead compliance across a busy learning environment?
About the Role
You’ll join a further education provider in the North West, leading day-to-day health and safety across multiple sites and for staff at all levels. You’ll put robust management systems in place that meet legal requirements and recognised standards, and you’ll help build a consistent, positive safety culture.
This is a role for someone credible and confident — able to work across teams, challenge where needed and drive improvement.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Advising senior colleagues on legal compliance, best practice and areas for improvement.
- Implementing and maintaining health and safety policies, procedures and standards so they are applied consistently across all sites.
- Making sure risk assessments, incident reporting and investigations are robust, regularly reviewed and followed in practice.
- Planning and delivering audits, tracking actions and working with teams to close gaps.
- Delivering or supporting health and safety training, including inductions and Duty Manager training.
- Handling statutory reporting and documentation, including RIDDOR reporting to the HSE, and maintaining accurate records.
What We’re Looking For
Essential:
- NEBOSH General Certificate (Level 3)
- IOSH chartered membership (CMIOSH) or willingness to work towards it
- Strong working knowledge of UK health and safety law, standards and practical risk management
- Proven experience auditing health and safety systems, creating action plans and improving compliance across an organisation
- Full driving licence and access to a vehicle
Desirable (but not essential):
- NEBOSH Diploma (Level 6), or working towards it
If you're ready to raise health and safety standards across a multi-site organisation, we'd love to hear from you.
