• Supporting compliance across Fire Safety, Asbestos, Legionella, COSHH, CDM and contractor management.
• Maintaining central compliance records, registers and documentation.
• Monitoring actions arising from audits, inspections and risk assessments.
• Supporting accident, incident and near-miss reporting, including RIDDOR.
• Working with departments and teams to ensure Health & Safety requirements are understood and implemented.
• Providing Health & Safety advice and guidance across the organisation.
• Delivering Health & Safety training and supporting the organisation's e-learning programme.
• Liaising with external Health & Safety specialists, contractors and relevant authorities.
• Supporting wider estates compliance, including vehicles, site security and events.
• Providing reports and updates to senior stakeholders and Health & Safety committees.

About you

You will have at least three years' recent and relevant Health & Safety experience, ideally within a complex or regulated environment, with a strong understanding of UK Health & Safety legislation and compliance.

We are looking for:

• NEBOSH National Diploma or equivalent Health & Safety qualification.
• Strong knowledge of Health & Safety legislation and compliance.
• Knowledge of CDM Regulations 2015.

Desirable experience includes: Fire Safety, Legionella and Asbestos management, including experience acting as the Responsible Person; COSHH; ISI National Minimum Standards; and swimming pool safety/plant management, including a Small Pool Operators Certificate.
