About the Health and Safety Advisor Role
We’re looking for an experienced and proactive Health and Safety Advisor to play a key role in helping us deliver safe, compliant and well‑managed construction, repairs, maintenance and investment activities.
This is an exciting newly created role, established as Teign Housing and Templer HomeBuild come together through our Home Team 27 programme to form One Team as Teign Homes. It’s a great opportunity to join us at an important time of change and help shape how health and safety is managed as our services and ways of working evolve.
As our Health and Safety Advisor, you’ll provide specialist construction health and safety advice, assurance and support across Property Services.
Working closely with managers, surveyors, supervisors, trade teams and contractors, you’ll help ensure health and safety arrangements are effective, consistent and proportionate across a wide range of activities.
Using your professional judgement and construction health and safety expertise, you’ll provide practical, solution‑focused advice, helping managers understand and manage risk effectively and supporting positive health and safety outcomes.

You will be analytical and evidence‑based, with strong skills in inspections, audits, investigations and assurance, using professional judgement to identify risks, root causes and opportunities for improvement.
