Shape the future of Health and Safety in an award-winning business.
Are you an experienced Health and Safety professional looking for a role where you can genuinely make your mark?
We are partnering with an award-winning, fast-growing national organization to recruit a standalone Health and Safety Manager.
Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer, this is a highly visible position offering the opportunity to influence senior leadership, drive continuous improvement, and shape the future of Health and Safety across a diverse, multi-site operation.
This is far more than a compliance focused role.
You’ll be empowered to challenge existing processes, make recommendations, and embed a proactive safety-first culture across the business.
The Opportunity
As the organisation’s Health and Safety lead, you’ll take ownership of the function across a varied operational estate, including:
- Four UK office locations
- Approximately 170 operational sites nationwide
- Field engineering teams
- External contractors and suppliers
- New client locations requiring Health and Safety mobilisation, risk assessments and ongoing support
With strong foundations already in place, the business is looking for someone who can bring fresh ideas, strengthen engagement, improve processes and continue developing an open, collaborative Health and Safety culture.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the organisation’s Health and Safety function, acting as the subject matter expert.
- Develop and continuously improve Health and Safety policies, procedures and management systems.
- Conduct internal audits and site inspections across multiple UK locations.
- Complete risk assessments and support the mobilisation of new operational sites.
- Investigate accidents, incidents and near misses, ensuring legal compliance and identifying preventative actions.
- Produce high-quality Board reports and management information, presenting directly to senior leadership.
- Maintain the Health and Safety risk register and monitor business-wide compliance.
- Deliver Health and Safety training, Toolbox Talks and awareness initiatives.
- Build strong relationships across operational teams, maintaining a visible presence on site.
- Promote a positive safety culture through coaching, engagement and practical support.
About You
You’ll be an experienced Health and Safety professional who enjoys working autonomously while building strong relationships across a business.
- You’ll Ideally Have
- Previous experience within a Health and Safety Manager role.
- NEBOSH Diploma, General Certificate or equivalent qualification.
- Experience working across multi-site operations.
- Strong knowledge of UK Health and Safety legislation.
- The confidence to influence stakeholders at all levels, including senior leadership.
- Experience producing reports and presenting performance data.
- A practical, solutions-focused approach with a passion for continuous improvement.
- Full UK Driving Licence (maximum three points).
Candidates from manufacturing, engineering, logistics, facilities management, construction or other operational environments are all encouraged.
Hybrid and Travel
This role offers genuine flexibility following probation.
- Hybrid working, typically around three days in the office each week, with flexibility where appropriate.
- Travel to operational sites across the UK forms a key part of the role.
- Pool vehicles are available from the Lancing office where possible, alongside mileage reimbursement.
- You will be expected to maintain a visible presence across sites, building relationships and supporting operational teams.
Why Apply?
This is an opportunity to take ownership of an established Health and Safety function while having the freedom to influence how it is developed moving forward.
- You’ll Enjoy
- A standalone role with genuine autonomy.
- Direct reporting.
