This is your chance to step into a pivotal leadership role where your expertise will not only influence policy but also reshape how we think about safety within healthcare services.

As our Deputy Head of Health & Safety & Wellbeing , you won’t just be managing safety protocols—you’ll be leading the way in creating a culture of proactive, life-changing care.

This isn’t just another job; it’s a role where your leadership will actively shape the future of our services, helping us build a safer, more empowered environment for the people we serve.

The Role

As a Health and Safety Manager, you will embed a culture where safety is a core value, not just a compliance measure. Working across diverse healthcare services, you’ll empower teams to focus on delivering life-changing care and support, backed by robust health and safety systems.

Key Responsibilities:

• Strategic Leadership : Collaborate with the Head of H&S to shape and implement innovative, forward-thinking health and safety strategies that drive organizational excellence.

• Team Empowerment : Inspire and mentor a team of H&S professionals, fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and shared responsibility.
• Data-Driven Decision Making : Use your expertise to deliver meaningful insights, ensuring our safety programs are both effective and continuously improving through audits, risk assessments, and targeted interventions.
• Hands-On Support : Take an active role in the implementation of health and safety initiatives, from training to on-the-ground risk management, ensuring practical application of policies.

About You

• Proven Experience : You’ve led health and safety programs in complex, multi-site environments, ideally within a healthcare or CQC-regulated setting, and you know how to adapt strategies to fit diverse needs.
• Strategic Vision : You can see the bigger picture, understanding how safety is integral to the success of the entire organization. But you’re also grounded in practical, hands-on problem solving.
• Collaborative Leadership : You have the ability to influence and inspire at all levels, building strong relationships with senior leadership, teams, and service users alike.
• Passionate About People : You care deeply about creating environments where people are safe, supported, and empowered to perform at their best.
• Relevant Certifications : NEBOSH or equivalent qualification is essential.
