Are you a passionate Health & Safety professional who enjoys driving change, challenging the norm and making a genuine difference?

We're working with a well-established organisation looking to appoint a Senior Health & Safety Lead to take ownership of H&S and help develop a stronger safety culture across the business.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a close-knit organisation that genuinely values its people. You'll have direct access to senior management, plenty of support and the autonomy to introduce improvements and put your own stamp on the H&S function.

The Role

This is a hands-on position for someone who enjoys being out on site rather than sitting behind a desk. You'll work closely with operational teams and senior management to improve standards, challenge poor practices and ensure health and safety is taken seriously throughout the business.

Key responsibilities include:

Leading and improving the company's health and safety culture. Challenging behaviours and driving positive change. Reviewing and improving safety management systems. Identifying gaps in processes and strengthening incident reporting. Supporting operational risk management and providing practical H&S guidance. Working closely with management and operational teams to improve standards.

About You

Experience in a senior Health & Safety role, ideally within an operational or safety-critical environment. Confident influencing stakeholders and challenging poor practices. A hands-on approach with the ability to engage with people at all levels. Experience developing and improving safety management systems. ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 knowledge would be advantageous. Industry background isn't essential. The client is open to candidates from a variety of sectors where skills and experience are transferable. Experienced Senior HSE Managers looking to step up are also encouraged to apply.

What's on Offer?

7.5% matched pension. 32 days' annual leave. Christmas shutdown. Hybrid working (4 days on site, 1 from home). Excellent onboarding, training and ongoing support. Regular access to senior management. A friendly, close-knit culture with regular social events. Interested?
