Junior Health And Safety Consultant

Ever feel like you're capable of more than your current health and safety role allows?

If you've got a foundation in health and safety and you're looking to build a career rather than just do a job, we'd love to hear from you.

You'll join a supportive consultancy where you'll receive hands‑on training, mentoring and development from experienced consultants, helping you build a rewarding career in Health & Safety Consultancy.

Junior Health & Safety Consultant

• Location: Swadlincote, Derbyshire (with national travel to client sites)
• Salary: £28,000 - £32,000 depending on experience
• Travel: throughout the UK with occasional overnight stays

About this opportunity

We're working with a growing, independent health and safety consultancy that does things differently.

Their approach isn't about clipboards, box‑ticking, or overwhelming clients with unnecessary bureaucracy. Instead, they focus on building lasting relationships, delivering pragmatic advice, and helping businesses create safer, stronger workplaces that put people first.

As part of a close‑knit and supportive team, you'll work alongside experienced consultants who are passionate about developing the next generation of health and safety professionals.

You'll receive hands‑on support, mentoring, coaching, and practical exposure to consultancy work, gradually building your confidence and expertise.

What you'll be doing

No two weeks look the same, but you'll be involved in:

• Supporting health and safety consultants with client projects across a range of industries
• Shadowing client visits and learning how to provide practical health and safety advice
• Assisting with risk assessments, safe systems of work, and health and safety documentation
• Supporting the development and delivery of training workshops
• Helping clients improve their health and safety management systems
• Assisting with monitoring, assurance and compliance activities
• Supporting clients through accreditation and certification processes
• Building relationships with clients and learning how consultancy services are delivered
• Developing your technical knowledge and consultancy skills through structured training and mentoring

What we're looking for

We're far more interested in the person than a long list of qualifications. This role has been created for someone ready to take the next step in their career.

You'll ideally have:

• NEBOSH General Certificate or equivalent Level 3 Health & Safety qualification
• Experience where health and safety forms part of your current role OR experience in a Health & Safety Coordinator, Administrator, Assistant, Compliance or similar position
• Strong communication and relationship‑building skills
• Good organisation and attention to detail
• A full UK valid driving licence and vehicle
• Willingness to travel nationally and occasionally stay away overnight

Most importantly, you'll be:

• Curious and eager to learn
• Comfortable asking questions
• Passionate about helping people stay safe at work
• Positive, approachable and personable
• Open‑minded and willing to challenge traditional thinking
• Looking for a long‑term opportunity where you can grow

What's on offer?

• A clear pathway into a full Health & Safety Consultant position
• Exposure to a wide range of industries and client environments
• A supportive and collaborative team that genuinely wants you to succeed
• Friendly, family‑feel culture where people matter
• On
