About NCHA

At Nottingham Community Housing Association (NCHA), our vision is simple: More homes, great services, better lives.

Our mission, Homes and support by people who care, reflects our commitment to providing quality housing, care and support services that make a meaningful difference to people’s lives.

Our values of Caring, Learning, Enthusiastic, Accountable and Resilient (CLEAR) underpin everything we do. We believe in creating an inclusive, supportive and positive working environment where colleagues are empowered to deliver their best for our customers and communities.

The opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced health and safety professional who combines strong technical expertise with exceptional people-management and leadership capabilities.

As Corporate Health & Safety Manager, you will take responsibility for providing strategic direction, professional guidance and operational leadership across the organisation. You will ensure that health and safety arrangements are robust, effective and aligned with relevant legislation, regulatory expectations and organisational priorities.

However, this role goes beyond technical compliance.

We are looking for someone who understands that effective health and safety management is underpinned by positive relationships, clear accountability, effective communication and a strong team culture.

You will lead and develop the Corporate Health & Safety team, establishing clear expectations, strengthening professional relationships and encouraging a collaborative environment where colleagues feel supported, valued and accountable for their contributions.

You will need the confidence and resilience to navigate challenging situations, manage differing personalities and address difficult conversations constructively. Your ability to bring people together, influence behaviours and create a positive working environment will be just as important as your technical knowledge.

Working collaboratively with colleagues across NCHA, you will also provide professional advice on relevant housing, property, operational and health and safety policies, helping ensure that our practices remain compliant, practical and focused on delivering safe homes and services.
